juclaire: The notion that colour has been systematically marginalized in western culture, in my opinion, has led to a fear of contamination and corruption through colour. This loathing of colour can relate to many aspects of our lives, and changes the way people perceive certain things. I have been exploring the prejudice against brightly coloured food and it’s connotations with something that is corrupt and sour. To evoke a desire to touch or even lick, something that is so sickly sweet and painted so that it tempts you in a tactile way. These ideas have lead to naming my works with evocative song titles or lyrics that exude those same guilty pleasures that sweets do. ‘My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard’ ‘MMMBop’ ‘Club Tropicana’
