I wanted to name this work ‘We are Family’ after the Sister Sledge song considering family in its widest sense, but I somehow got caught by the mystery of fading light and why red is the first colour to fade at dusk (the Purkinje Phnomenon).
I love playing with impossible colours; and as for the family, there they are in the lit up transit van on the right.
