THE MOUSE...
"In transforming my mouse from its original understated shade of “greige” -- neither grey nor beige, but some bland wasteland in between -- I was inspired by the work of color theorist and painter Josef Albers. Compelled by the idea of a red mouse (almost as elusive as the purple cow), I applied multiple layers of pink and red gouache to complete my study. "
