Watercolour was an international mail art project in
which five pieces of white A4 paper were placed on
five coloured seas around the world – the Red Sea,
Yellow Sea, White Sea, Black Sea & green(land) sea –
to create five conceptual ‘watercolours’ (2017–2018).
UPON THEIR ARRIVAL INTO THE UK, EACH SUBSTRATE WAS
THEN CHEMICALLY ANALYSED FOR (A)BIOTIC TRACE
ELEMENTS USING AN XRF SPECTROMETER (A NON-DESTRUCTIVE
TEST THAT QUANTIFIABLY DETERMINED THEIR MATERIAL
COMPOSITION). THIS WAS CARRIED OUT BY SENIOR
LABORATORY TECHNICIAN ROBERT ASHURST AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD (UK).
