Inspired by Albers’ color studies and the work of other artists, we’ve developed color palettes-bundles of fabrics, thread, and floss-as tools for color exploration. We press onward, being even more mindful and diligent in our study. It has been a year of so much, but in January, we had set down a path of a year-long study of color. Choice of the colours used, as well as their order, is aimed at an interaction – influencing and changing each other forth and back.”Īt The School of Making, we chose 2020 as the Year of Color. In 1965, Josef Albers wrote of his series Homage to the Square: “They all are of different palettes, and, therefore, so to speak, of different climates.
