  • The painted sculpture on its blue-grey square base against a light grey backdrop: flame- and leaf-like forms in green, turquoise, orange, red and purple curve around an open hollow, with tall pointed tips at the top
  • The same sculpture from another side: a tall blue point and a yellow one rise above wing-like orange and turquoise forms, on thin red, yellow and green legs
  • Another view of the painted sculpture: turquoise and orange tips at the top, a long red flame form reaching down to the base, and patterned brown and gold surfaces on the left
  • A further view: an open ring of finely patterned forms on the right, blue and yellow points at the top, and orange and turquoise wing-like forms reaching out to the left
  • The same painted sculpture lying on its side on a silver turntable, in front of a green hedge: wing- and flame-like forms in turquoise, orange, yellow and red spread out around the open hollow, many of them decorated with fine dots, stripes and black outlines
  • The sculpture lying on its side, photographed at night during an earlier stage of painting: bright orange, red and turquoise wings and a long turquoise spike, with a bare wood-grain pattern around the central hollow
  • The sculpture lying on its side at night during an earlier stage of painting, lit against a dark background on a dark wooden table: long turquoise and red spikes stretch out to both sides, with orange, red and turquoise wings and a wood-grain pattern outlined in black around the open hollow

  • Colour Wings – the raw material, video

    Video description

    About 10 seconds: the raw material of the painted rotating sculpture before it was worked – a large, gnarled and weathered tree stump, grey and brown, full of holes and cracks, rising into a twisted spire – stands on wooden pallets in a yard next to a corrugated metal shed; the camera moves around it.

  • Colour Wings – lying on its side on a turntable

    Video description

    About 14 seconds: the same painted sculpture, here lying on its side, turns on a white turntable on a dark stand in a garden, showing every side – a wide, open form of wing- and flame-like shapes in green, turquoise, yellow, orange, red and blue, covered in fine patterns of dots, stripes and black outlines.
