THE COLOURS OF A FOREST

SEASONAL COLOURWHEEL

The forest is a place for contemplation, to re/connect with all the senses. Through the change of time the forest is in constant flux, in balance with the new and the old. With the change of the seasons, the bright green shades of new buds and leaves transform into darker, more saturated green tones. The subtle change of colours and the perpetual interplay between growth and decay is an ongoing fascinating proces in nature.

‘The colours of a Forest’ is a research project that explored the changing shades of colours of the trees and plants in the small city forest of Dommelplantsoen, Eindhoven over a period of one year.

Each week, for an entire year, the colours of the forest were gathered and arranged the forest's colours into various compositions. As a final result, this proces culminated in the creation of a distinctive colour palette, encapsulating the annual colour journey of the forest.
