Lot Essay

‘I want the viewer to feel like they can leap into the paintings, and although the picture created by the flowers is essentially abstract, I want the viewer to be able to imagine what it would feel like to be immersed in that environment, to be bathed in it, like (even if in the smallest way) how I feel in front of a Rothko.’
(D. Colen, quoted in https://huntedprojects.com [accessed 12th September 2015])
