149 VIVALEWES EDITORIAL ‘Custard on crumble, mustard on ham’, muses John Henty, in celebration of his favourite colour. Michael Blencowe anticipates the return of the yellow Brimstone. Dr Dan Danahar works hard to protect and restore all our lost butterflies. And Ed Ikin walks us round the new Wakehurst Winter Garden, pointing out white Himalayan Birch and red dogwoods... Our broad theme for this issue, you see, is Colour. Perfect, then, to visit Peter Messer’s studio – where tempera paint pigments radiate from jars on his shelves, waiting to be mixed with egg yolk and applied to flat white gesso panels in his magical layers. Or Nigel Cooke’s – purpose-designed so he can work on eight, huge, multi-layered paintings at any one time. Cressida Bell tells us she looks for patterns which sing – and is currently busy curating next month’s In Colour exhibition at Charleston. While colour forecaster Anna Starmer travels the world, with her Nikon D810, in search of inspiring colours. Carlotta Luke shares splashes of colour, shot while documenting local building sites. Charlotte Higgins pursues Red Thread through her new book about labyrinths. Louise Gorst teaches how to disentangle your inner artist. Torz Dallison photographs four <strong>Lewes</strong>ians with an eye for colour. And Alexandra Loske, Curator at Brighton’s Royal Pavilion, describes how she made colour her specialist subject – and now views many worlds through it. A bit like we’ve tried to, in this issue.
