The Colour Gallery
Every colour here begins as an observation — of light through leaves, stone underfoot, the edge of a petal in wind.
I work with both natural dyes and Lanaset dyes, drawing on centuries of colour craft and the precision of the studio. Japanese dyestuffs, Australian landscapes, and the memory of wild Cape Town freedom all run through my hands as I work.
My background in architecture and systems thinking shapes how I see: structure, rhythm, balance, and detail. Each hue is a small study in those ideas — composed, tested, sometimes accidental, always alive.
These colours already exist in the world; I’m simply gathering them together on wool for the pleasure of touch, of making, of watching them move again.
Solar Yellows
Radiant, restless, alive. Yellows drawn from light, leaf, and bark - where warmth begins.
Golds born of sunlight and marigold, onion skin and ochre.
These are the hues that hold morning energy - the charge of new leaves, the vibration of bees, the sound of the world waking up.
They are light made tangible.

Every yellow begins with patience and a spark — the slow chemistry of brightness.
Verdant Greens
Quiet strength.
Green is the sound of breath and return.
From forest moss to wild mint, these greens speak of movement and growth.
Each shade sits somewhere between shadow and light, like the turning of a leaf.
Some come from weld or walnut husk, others from pure intuition — all rooted in the same living pulse.

Greens are never still; they shift with every layer of dye and light.
Sky Blues
Still water, open sky.
Calm that hums with quiet electricity.
These blues hold the weight of clouds, the cool of river stones, the clarity after rain.
From indigo’s deep patience to Lanaset’s clean edge, each tone carries both air and depth — the feeling of standing in a wide

Some blues are grown; others are mixed — all are washed in light.
Ember Reds
Fire remembered.
Colour that burns from within.
Rust, madder, cochineal, rose — these reds flicker between passion and restraint.
They recall the ember at dusk, the curve of a petal, the heat held under stone.
Fierce and grounded, these colours refuse to fade quietly.

Reds demand time — and the right moment to pull them from the pot.
Mineral Greys
Smoke, stone, silence.
Every grey here is alive — built from layers of dye that remember water, metal, or ash.
They carry a soft authority, like architecture in fog.
Neither neutral nor cold, they are balance made visible.

Greys are the architecture that holds every other colour upright.
Earth Neutrals
Grounded and warm — the texture of the world beneath your feet.
Ochres, umbers, sands, and clays.
These tones remind the hand what it’s touching: earth, fibre, time.
They sit quietly beside every other colour, allowing brightness to sing.

The simplest colours are often the hardest to master — each one finds its own balance.
Wild Multicolour
Chaos, rhythm, and play.
These are the experiments that refused to stay contained — overdyed, layered, spontaneous.
They carry the energy of a thunderstorm or a wild garden, where everything blooms at once.
No two are the same; each one tells its own story in motion.

In the Studio
From my hands to yours.
Every colour here was grown, gathered, or imagined from the world around me — bark, flower, stone, sky.
Whether born from natural dye or pigment, each hue carries the same intention: to move.
Spin it. Weave it. Let it live again.
