VenETIAN RED
The choice of red in this series wasn't deliberate.
The is no tangible explanation for the colour but several factors may have contributed in a subconscious way with the most likely being influenced by events happening in my life around that time. Perhaps memories of trips to the cinema, theatre and ballet as a child - indulgent treats that made a lasting impression - with their ornate architectural structures, thick red velvet curtains and seats, the overly-painted faces and gaudy costumes of the performers all lending to a sense of feeling cocooned and safe, probably the way Holly Golightly (Hepburn) felt about Tiffany's.
There are only 6 pieces left from this collection from 2000 - 2009. If interested, please get in touch via the contact form.
