Mono Palette is an installation about colour and the act of choosing it. When Corine van Voorbergen began painting, she could afford a single handmade pastel at a time and would deliberate in front of hundreds before selecting one. The work returns to that ritual: twenty-five discs, arranged in a grid, each translate a colour from the pastel collection she has built up over the years into her current medium of natural pigments and epoxy. Every disc is given its own gradient and depth and is set in one of her handmade brass rings. Produced in an edition of five, the 165 x 165 cm installation treats colour as a form of communication.
