Revelation

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:22:34 -0400

$12.00
Part of a colour series created in shadow boxes, Orange is represented by Revelation.

Orange is midway between yellow and red and therefore is the most actinic colour. [Actinic = radiant energy] Lying between celestial gold and chthonian red, the primary symbolism of the colour is that of the point of balance between the spirit and the libido. However, this balance tends to be upset in one direction or the other, so that orange may become the revelation of divine love or the emblem of lust. -from The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gherbrandt
