A Hint of Blue moves us into a domestic setting. For those of us who were fortunate enough to have shelter, during lockdown, in our homes, surrounded by all the things we have accumulated in our lives. There was not much to do but accumulate more things, more hobbies, more ways to pass the time that seemed both static and endless. The fabric from The Divine Sky series, once representing the landscape, the sky, the intuitive drawing process is now domesticated and utilised as a tablecloth.

The Divine Sky project is underpinned by an exploration of the colour blue, and in particular the allure of Indigo. In A Hint of Blue, the focus moves to Cobalt blue. A pigment traditionally associated with Blue Willow Chinaware. Appearing as early as (618 – 906) during the Tang dynasty, Blue Willow porcelain has since been appropriated, and turned into a cheap commodity in the West.
