Sky Charms 



What is the smelliest colour?

I asked a bunch of people while in the bath what they thought was the smelliest colour ever, here is what they said:

+ Brown - variations of greeny brown, yellow brown, reddish brown and just straight up brown. Mostly associated with poo.
+ acid green/chartreuse - toxic swamp mist, bile, stains.
+ Blue, specifically turbo Gatorade laboratory flavour migraine inducing
+ turd-quoise - shit Crystal?
+ maroon/deep red brown - old period blood.
+ cyan - the irrepressible waft of a LUSH shop
+ mustard - layers of waxy bodies ripe with acrid sweat.
+ molasses - the colour of compounding chemists concocting ointments
+ lavender- grandma’s knickers drawer
+ puce - the colour of a flea full of blood

All these contributions make up the palette of colours used to paint my scented sculptures for this iteration of the show.
