Vessels

A series of 15 works on canvas.

Each 40cmx33cm.

Raw cotton, color pencils, acrylic binder.

Concerning vibration of the color, and bearing in mind the word 'timbre'. A musical term used to describe the distinct sound of a voice or an orchestra in classical music. It is a term that is not easily grasped. The color pencil and the pressure of the hand allows the very differentiated expression of intensity or paleness of each color. 

Also, the palette plays with the colors used for facades on old houses in Denmark. Hence Vessels - something that carrys or contains something. (A note to Lawrence Weiner's - 'Something to put something on').
