When it's white outside


A conversation about color between the artist Meg Franklin and Elizabeth Irene Meehan (career TBD).


Meg: What's your favorite color?

Elizabeth: Red makes me feel sad.

M: Oh really?

E: And blue makes me feel angry.

M: Oh that's interesting. Usually blue makes people feel calm. How does green make you feel?

E: Green makes me feel thirsty.

M: That's interesting. How does yellow make you feel?

E: Yellow makes me feel silly.

M: Yellow is my favorite color.

[Long Pause]

M: How does purple make you feel?

E: Playful and throwy.

M: What's throwy?

E: [Demonstrates an overhead throw.]
