My colour lexicon over the last few years has varied a lot but I feel now more secure in my colour choices than I ever have. Recently I have a tendency towards bright and highly saturated colours as these feel suitable to me to address the rich and colourful history of trans people. I love using bright yellows, acid greens, bright pinks and oranges. I also like to bring in pale pinks and baby blue’s similar to those depicted in the official transgender pride flag, these colours to me are also meaningful in that society uses these colours to define their babies from the day they’re born, dressing them in pink or blue so that people don’t incorrectly define them, my use of these colours feels almost  like a satirical comment on the nature of society to confine everything to a binary system. This curation of specific bright colours, to me, is reminiscent of queer coding in which queer people would wear specific colours in order to identify oneself among strangers. I believe it makes my work stand out and become a statement about visibility.
