What if ideas were colours?

Vodden reimagines the Colour Field movement through a contemporary lens, posing the question: "What if ideas were colours?" This inquiry underpins a body of work that translates philosophical and psychological concepts into immersive visual experiences.

Utilising mirror-polished stainless steel layered with semi-transparent, alcohol ink-dyed resins, Vodden crafts dynamic hues that evolve through layering, optical mixing, and refracted light. In this way, the works function as liminal spaces - thresholds between material and immaterial, self and reflection, light and colour. These shifting tones echo the transitional nature of ideas themselves: never fixed, always in motion, and full of transformative potential.

The mirrored surfaces invite viewers to see abstracted versions of themselves, fostering personal interpretations and a reflective engagement with the concepts. By merging the psychological power of colour with interactive light play, Vodden creates artworks that transcend traditional boundaries - transforming abstract ideas into contemplative liminal spaces that challenge perception and inspire introspection.
