Colour intrinsic to form Philip Island 1979
In the natural world colour is not applied from a paint catalogue. There is no fashion.
Universal processes of order run through all things and colour is an intrinsic property that arises from them. It is a property of stuff arising through the interaction of the material from which it is composed, its structure and its environment.
Colour is not selected. On the Bogong high plains the silky muscular trunks of the alpine eucalypts are a smooth blending of pale soft greens, creams, pinks and lilacs, yet on their southern sides out of the sun they are vivid reds and oranges. Why? Why does this living form colour that part of its skin that does not receive the direct rays of the sun in this way?
The colours of these trees arise from their nature and their specific environments and in each part cannot be any other way.
In architecture each building, each space has its own innate character, and within this character are its intrinsic colours. Colours arising from the nature of the spaces, from its exact and precise location, the movement of the sun throughout the seasons.
The question is to see and feel this without reference to current prejudice and fashion.
