Specialist note

‘There are no simple colours in my work… there are no whites, no reds. Colours are always subverted by the colours underneath, so when you’re looking at something you’re never quite sure what you’re looking at’ (S. Scully, quoted in H. Amirsadeghi and M. Homayoun Eisler (eds.), Sanctuary: Britain’s Artists and their Studios, London 2011, p. 112).
