Hansa yellow, also known as Arylide and Monoazo yellow, is a bright and high-performance organic pigment known for its exceptional lightfastness and transparency.

For this work I wanted to elevate the materials I use in the studio to a fine art setting. By plaster casting replicas of each of my paint tubes, I affirm the act of making as an art work.
