Colour Working / Working Colour

Colour Working / Working Colour curated by David Sequeira at the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery alongside artists Josef Albers, Anna Finlaysonn, David Serisier, Peter Atkins and Taree MacKenzie. The show draws attention to the functionality of colour. Referencing colour charts and the process of colour sampling, the paintings, video, sculpture, prints and collages can be considered systematic arrangements of colour that allude to an infinite range of possibilities.

Says David “Minaal Lawn’s Not Wall 2025 has its source in childhood stories and superstition and the rich symbolism of the knot in Hindu worship culture. Combining this symbolism with her interest in the subtlety and nuance of colour, Lawn stretches hues to explore what can still be considered part of a single hue. Although Not Wall contains 400 components, it alludes to an infinite range of variations in colour and form.”

Documentation of this project was made possible by the Australian Government Regional Arts Fund, which supports the arts in regional and remote Australia.
