dc.description.abstract	In the Vicinity of White explores the potential of colour and abstraction as stimulative artistic devices that spur human emotion beyond the inherent constraints of reality. Researching the historical, personal and emotional attributes that surround the colour white, ‘In the Vicinity…’ suggests that this project is not purely a quest for the ‘ultimate white’; it is research that builds on the colour’s conceptual and historical bases to generate a study that explores my understandings of the hue and its roles within art, existence and faith. This project serves as an in-depth contextualisation of my practice and a focused body of work that extends my current knowledge of material by researching and synthesising philosophies and figures of movements such as Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism.	en
