A series of three paintings of the wind-swept landscapes of Orkney, in the far north of Scotland. Each painting consists of a solid, hand-mixed color, representing the mathematically-calculated dominant color value of three landscapes in Orkney:
1) an oil terminal
2) a wind farm
3) a prehistoric settlement
After taking photographs of each location, an algorithm calculated the dominant color value through analyzing each pixel. The resulting three colors were hand-mixed to match, and then committed to canvas. This work was produced for a group exhibition at Pier Arts Centre in Orkney.
