ABOUT THE COLOUR:
One of my favourite reads of all time is The Secret Lives of Colour by Kassia St.Clair. This book is a vivid story of culture and history told through the lens of colour. As a film photographer, I am constantly exploring the old times (and the new) through a camera lens, and so this book was an instant inspiration for this collection as it is yet another medium of exploration. With all of that in mind, I only saw it fitting to call the titles of the cases by the exact shade they depict. The short fact below is one of my favourites that the author, Kassia, chose to write to describe the colour and a fact that I would like to share with you!
“Remarkably, for most of its history no one was quite sure exactly what Prussian blue was; they knew the steps to take to make it, but were unclear on exactly what was reacting with what. That such a thing was created by happy accident seems almost miraculous. As the French chemist Jean Hellot remarked in 1762:
Nothing is perhaps more peculiar than the process by which one obtains Prussian blue, and it must be owned that, if chance had not taken a hand, a profound theory would be necessary to invent it.”
