Mixing colors opens so many possibilities. The in between colors shift subtly back and forth, the recede or advance depending on which color they touch. This collection pulled me deeply into that space, testing how subtle was too subtle, learning how to play with lights and darks, mixing and remixing colors depending on how well they played with their neighbours. Strongly influenced by the work of Josef Albers, this collection pushed me to play in color theory and interaction more than any other.

The shapes and lines seem to pull the colors across the panels. And so the collection became about the journey, the roads we take, the spaces and place we occupy. Do you walk around the water’s edge to gain new perspective? Do you simply look across the fence or hop over to explore more? Do you say yes to the curiosities of your heart or are you held tight to who you have always been? What beautiful mosaic could you be creating with your life, with the world, if you accepted all the pieces of yourself as part of a whole? What innovation and understanding could be possible if the borders of this world stopped limiting our connection, our humanity, our potential?
