Colouring can bring an immediate transformation to an object. Once a layer of pigment is applied to a surface, colour appears to define a space of its own.
The project explores wood staining as a means to draw colorful shapes within a series of wooden objects. The staining process is applied by hand, each plank resulting in a different shades and tones. The overall coloured shapes bring an additional identity to the wooden pieces.
Colour Me Red is part of the permanent collection at Centre National des Arts Plastiques in France.
