‘Colour Scores’ are arrangements of found colour – sea-tumbled plastic, glass, beach, bush & urban debris. Fervent fields of colour of varying shades, a photographic document of what we leave behind. Recorded on same hue backdrops and titled with musical terms such as Red Riff, Arrangement in Rose and Neutral Third, ‘Colour Scores’ evoke emotional soundscapes with their intensity. Transforming discarded pieces into colour fields, a swirling spectrum of detritus.
Amy Jane Scully is a gallery educator at Art Gallery of New South Wales including teaching drawing at the Brett Whiteley Studio and Hurstville Museum and Gallery. Always exploring the transformative power of creativity across disciplines of film, theatre, yoga and Art Therapy, Amy started to explore found object sculpture during lockdown times, as she stayed closer to home and documented debris by turning the found into Foundlings – a series that exhibited as her first solo show at Scratch Gallery Marrickville, in August/September 2023. Colour Scores naturally follows on from Foundlings as each piece of detritus is honoured in its abstraction alongside others of the same hue.
