lovely halo- did you ever think of making it red... being under a red light has many connotations... roxanne!
Cheers Jacob, I thought about various colours, as fanko and jon will know, but orange was always the one that best fits the piece. The main reason for this is that saffron orange is the colour of the Sikhs, it is heavily associated with Sikh identity and purity, you can see this outside any sikh temple. It also has links to other world religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, Protestant Christianity etc.. Orange also seems like a very eastern colour to me, the colour of India in a way? Red has far too many connotations, for starters it is a heavily political colour, and obviously the notions of sex, anger, blood, fire etc etc would have served to overshadow the halo. I use orange alot in my work, i guess it is a running theme...
very beautiful image. i see it as saffron, more exotic sounding than orange.
yeah i can see that orange works much better than red. It was only a flippant remark about the redlight.
It really is a beautiful image. where are you in the attic? i like it.... it looks like you have floated to the top of the building and are waiting for the roof to open for your assent to the heavens!!
i like the image ,
