Color Inspiration – Moldy Orange

There is something arresting and sensuous about Françoise Tellier-Loumagne’s photograph of a moldy orange. It evokes contradicting scents of sharp citrus and musty decay. It’s fascinating textural surface is both soft and velvety, glossy and firm. The shades of blue are unlike any mold that I have ever seen before. Tellier-Loumagne suggests using it as inspiration for embroidery.

    I love this color combination! How amazing that it comes from something that that at first glance is disgusting.

    Isn’t funny how some of the most beautiful things come from the grotesque? I think Alexander McQueen said that often.
