Indian Lake 27-Oct

Editor: So here we have "Indian Lake," a pigment manufactured by James Newman. It's this intriguing little bottle filled with what looks like a rose-tinted dust. It makes me wonder about the stories colors can hold. What whispers do you hear when you look at this bottled pigment? Curator: Well, it's like holding a sunset, isn't it? Or the blush on someone's cheek. Pigments are the DNA of paintings; this little jar contains the potential for masterpieces. It makes you think about the life of color, where it comes from – maybe crushed beetles, or minerals mined from the earth. It's a bit of alchemy, really. Editor: Alchemy, I love that! It's like this quiet, unassuming jar is actually bursting with potential. I never thought of it that way. Curator: Exactly! And in that sense, aren’t we all just jars of potential waiting to be mixed into something extraordinary?
