Specialist note

‘Colour is a pattern that plays across the membrane of the mind... Colour is a series of harmonies everywhere in the universe being divine whole numbers lasting forever adrift in time... Colour is light on fire. Each colour is the result of burning, for each substance burns with a particular colour.’ – Sam Francis
