As part of my colour research I build collections using invented systems, often relating to a certain colour. In the 'Trolley' photographs I have experimented with building collections of block colour in the supermarket, a place where colour is in abundance, in order to understand how colour may look in mass. In this work the subject matter of shopping and consumerism is a framework in which to act out abstract concepts of anaesthesia and control with a collection of coloured objects. Being located in a trolley, this canvas inevitably references consumer society and disposable culture.
