This work is part of a new series entitled Reconciliation for Whites with Colour.
The visual art of Catherine van Wilgenburg is a search for a non-verbal language of colour which can reconstruct holistic perception of colour.
What does this reconciliation mean for whites? Can black and white be reconciled through colour?
Reconciliation is about the meeting of this black and white first world dualistic human condition, which places black and white, inner and outer, Self and Other, Subject and Object in opposition.
‘We have to find ways of effecting a release of archetypal memory that predates the loss of our integration with nature...’
~ Suzi Gablik, The Re–Enchantment of Art
Colour can facilitate this process in reconstructing our primal origins through the visual expression of the unconscious. Experiencing colour can assist in the deconstruction of dualistic thought and reconstruction of holistic perception based upon the reunification of mind body and spirit. This activity is at the core of reconciliation with nature, indigenous cultures, black and white, subject and object, inner and outer.
