Colorscapes

The sixth volume in Lee Woodman's renowned Scapes series, Colorscapes is a veritable celebration of the colors of Woodman's life. As a child living in India, she absorbed the rich and colorful fruits and spices in the marketplace and the wild combos of yellows, greens, and purples in women's saris. Studying studio art and art history in college, she encountered color theory and the phenomenology of perception. Throughout her career came opportunities to submerge herself in color, working at the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, and other stewards of art, architecture, technology, and science. For Woodman, color is more than a fascination, as she charges us to live and breathe through color, noting that color suffuses our lives with meaning and memory, bidding us to relive experiences we've had, people we've met, and passions that have enriched our lives.
