Ben ChandlerThere’s a beautiful, strange allure to the colour purple. It feels occult to me, otherworldly. Gilt features the colour in many small ways.
Such use of colour is hedonistic, sure, but the creative journey need not be entirely austere and morose.
Of course being creative is self-indulgent. The feeling of satisfaction when the elements come together is the only pleasure worth getting up for. I can easily drink coffee and listen to songs about death in bed.
