Physicality emerges through layered red colour.
In Nebulae, what appears to be like red blood cells appear suspended in a liquid like environment, dispersed across a space that seems both intimate and expansive. The title brings this microscopic subject into relation with the vastness of nebulae. Red is central to this encounter. A recurring colour in Spriggs’ work, it connects the subject of physicality while carrying an emotional intensity that the viewer feels in relation to their own body.
