SYNOPSIS
I propose to follow three streams of investigation
in my thesis: to re-create the coloured palette of Australian
Aboriginals, to replicate paints used by Renaissance artists
and to produce a body of work reflective of, and informed by,
these investigations - see below: Practical - Research Outcome.
Theoretical. The
dissertation will include assembled data and how it was used
to achieve particular results in my own work - bridging the gap
between raw pigments of the past and present, between the theoretical
and practical.
