Brustman is taking part in the National Gallery of Victoria’s
Triennial exhibition, opening December 19. Her technicolour involvement is as much an intellectual quest as it is an exploration into how colour impacts mood. The answer is anything but black and white. Brustman’s work is designed to get us thinking about colour as therapy and it’s here she uses her interior design strategy to explore it via colour in carpeted walls, floors, balustrades and interior fixtures. Inspired by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier’s colour theory essay from 1931 titled
Architectural Polychromy, Brustman uses his colour tool Clavierde Couleurs (colour keyboard) to create her own soundtrack within the NGV.
