“Well, I don’t start off with any kind of colour idea in my head. I never know. That’s why I use the same format; I can live off of it. Once I put a colour down, that colour will let me know the next colour. Similar to music, you know, how a player can play and then they’ll inform the other player and then they’ll come in. They’ll see space and they’ll think, ‘Okay, I can come into this space.’ It’s a conversation. For me, it really is a colour conversation.”
