The Dreaming - Colour and Light Work


I chose this picture by Rebecca partridge because I find the qualities very interesting what I find most interesting is that she only uses the colours red, blue and green in the main circles but by adding them with others circles of different colour she creates new ones. This is the only piece where she does this, in dazzling darkness she comes close but not all the images mix. She also uses the colour black in the background to bring out all these colours whereas in all of the others except one she would use a black background. I picked this background because of its uniqueness I think it stands out from the rest. She used brighter and darker versions of the colour at the top and the bottom of her work creating a 3D effect as if the coloured lights where traveling in a cylindrical shape I say this because the coloured circles at the top are brighter and the ones at the bottom are darker creating a feeling of seeing light at the end of a tunnel and darkness at the bottom. This work is called dreaming and my understanding of this would be that where it is dark she would be dreaming but because there is an effect of the brighter colours approaching i would say she is about to wake up.
