Violet

This short piece explores the colour violet and the stories it carries.

Named by Lincolnshire-born scientist Isaac Newton as part of the visible spectrum of light, violet can also be found growing in the garden around you each spring.

For generations, violets held a special significance for many queer women, quietly exchanged as symbols of affection, love and connection.

Through colour, nature and history, the piece reveals how even the smallest details can hold hidden stories.
