Factory

In the early 1990s, before I began working in colour, I decided to frame my photographs in distinctively coloured Formica rather than in black, dark grey or simulated stone, which I had been using. I selected colours linked to details in the photographs, colours connected to prominent objects, the temperature or smells I associated with the rooms. It struck me that the colour would serve to capture something quintessential or characteristic about the site, something that would give the viewer a little more information (but not too much).In this picture, I chose a beige frame to mimic the colour of the flesh of the boy-girls.
