At the start colour was made by hand. Imperfections, serendipitous irregularities and fading were accepted aesthetics. The RGB Series is the result of a study on handmade colour and glazes. By exploring coloured glaze and translucency levels in the glazes, each fundamental colour RGB (Red, Green & Blue) is broken down and observed in its purest form, a phenomenon known as chromatography. The series also studies the basic influence of colours on other colours, termed simultaneous contrast which laid the building blocks of successful palettes making.
