THIS IS WHEN THE YELLOW BREAKS
COLOR STUDIES
But the wordsound
-it sounds of yellow - dry leaf snapping, it explodes
For some, to live with this yellow is not easy
they must sink it into darker hues, it slowly oranges
This yellow is the melting of the center, a mythology, an eruption, an origin.
Choose a color that has been affecting you lately and describe it. Do you dream about it, dress yourself in it? What does it make you feel? Is it attached to any memories or emotions? Write a reflection in a marker or pen with ink that most closely matches that color. Then take notice when that color appears in the spaces around you; spend time photographing it.
Forest green, not just green, says so much
He soñado con el so en ris ojos cuardo las ciro y pienso en Mi padre
Here you broke me open with red. You washed away the bindings of the past. Red becomes the color of blessing in every form it takes
The black walls of the smoke, where I bathed in steam, where I slept on a mat made of tuel and drank my favorite tea: lemongrass
I wonder if joy can ever be the color blue, I want blue to feel happy, blue is cathartic tears, release, chaos, mystery.
