What happens next:
The most common 38 colors will become the final palette. From this, a unique combination of 8 will be used in each painting. The application of a combination without repeat formula creates a pool of 48,903,492 possibilities. As it is estimated that 32 to 45 million individuals have inhabited Los Angeles County in the 12,000 years since Indigenous populations first chose to stay, this provides a representation of light for each individual to have lived here.

About:
Telling of lived moments transformed, LA // color of light builds upon methods of capturing moving light and space in time. The date, timeframe, location, and weather are recorded as each is drawn en plein air within Los Angeles County.
Intersections of commonality between current and past residents are used to create a series-specific palette. Colors will be intentionally juxtaposed to mimic transparency, opacity, and movement – resulting in seeming, teeming abstractions.
