Collingwood
Black and White.
First, I have to say that I don’t suffer from synaesthesia.
Collingwood traditional colours are black and white. Here I am using colours
that I have associated with the 12 tone music. Therefore, they are two
different colour systems at play at the same time. In my colour system black
and white are both NATRUAL, however they do have certain characteristics like
the rest of the other 12 colour.
Think of it like traffic thinking. You are in four lanes or more. Two cars
are traveling parallel one way and, the other two travelling parallel the
opposite direction. Some of the cars have passenger’s other don’t. From
outside they look similar but we know that they different, doing similar functionality.
Each car is independent from the other and travels in a different manner, but
they travel in an orderly direction.
Methodology.
First, I painted in black acrylic paint the word Collingwood a number of
times, in my English script. At all time thinking of the final composition both
visual and conceptionally in music terms, as I am using my 12 tone colour
system, and not the normal colour system. Here I am painting a music composition
and, as different words are used no two compositions should be the same.
What dictate the colour musical composition is the name/s or word/s used, in
this case Collingwood and, its associated colour scheme. Here, Collingwood is used to emphasis the
black and white. This mean that every word has a designated colour scheme. The
most interesting part is just like the 12 tone music, which is fixed and
specific is How it is interpreted to create the final composition.
Message Carriers.
Both back, white and other colour can be used as text carriers. Here the emphasises
is about neutrality. This is just like black ink and white paper, but act as massage
carriers. One is the positive as the black ink, and negative for the white
paper in this case. However, both black and white are interchangeable, there
they are both equal in value of neutrality. For example, the ink has no baring
on the massage, it is simple a neutral messenger.
Shades of Grey.
Black and white greys are neutral. Colour greys carries the association of
the colour. Dark, not with black coloured grey associated with deep feelings, and
tinted colour greys with higher, lighter feelings.
Take a hint from music at how the coloured scales are used.
