TRICOLOUR'S MISSION

“The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.” - Kakuzo Okakura

The beauty of humanity, is that when you embrace it, you have the opportunity to be someone absolutely brand new every day. When I was designing this collection many people told me to keep the style limited, to constrain myself to a niche, a set of rules, or boundaries. But as humans we are ever changing, and to not embrace this fundamental quality is to deny ourselves life itself. In this collection I have expanded the bounds of what one's own style should become. As we should never become an expression of our style, our styles should become the purest expression of ourselves. My focus on abstractions and iridescents is a perfect expression of the prism of life which we experience a new refraction of every day. I did not create these pieces with a target, or for an audience. I made these pieces for humans, to live in.

I hope those of you that came here for one select item leave with several, not in the slightest pursuit of my own gain, but in the pursuit of expressing your ever changing, growing self, every day. Every week I will release more artwork. Some I create in immediate sparks of inspiration. While some, such as Rainbow Cat, I have held onto for several years refining and receiving input from everyone I cross in my life as an artist. Until they became one of a kind pieces of art that I am delighted to share with the world. I only hope that you can feel that delight in their capacity to express your mood, aesthetic, or simply being comfortable in your own skin, every day you wear them. As I have loved every second of creating them.

I leave you with a quote from Alan watts, which I placed in the artwork on "reflection" from 2018. This quote means much the same as Kakuzo's above, and I find that demonstrates exactly how while all our experiences are changing every single day, in that way our human experience is always connected. In the same life, on the same earth.

“Watch the flow of water when it crosses over an area of land and you will see that it puts out fingers, and some of them stop because they come into blind alleys. The water doesn’t pursue that course; it simply rises and then it finds it's way... and eventually finds a course. 

Now, we will do the same thing.”
