‘CYANOMETER’
The first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about the color sora-iro is the cyanometer, a scientific instrument invented in the 18th century to measure the “blueness” of the sky.
It is a circle made of small blue dyed squares of paper arranged as a gradient that you hold in your hand and compare to the color of the sky.
I find this object and its intention extremely poetic, it’s like catching an illusion.
Sora-iro is a recurring color in my work, it comes through different forms and intensity. It is peaceful and soothing, calling for warmer tones.
It reminds me of home, being in the sea on my back, looking at the sky and waiting for the waves to bring me back to the shore.
It reminds me of Richard Diebenkorn’ and Agnes Martin’ works.
