«Flaxman» is a reference to the
type of linen canvas used as the support, to his old telephone exchange, and to a confused association
of ideas which linked the neo-classical artist John Flaxman with the blue -
green colour
of the
paintings and the Chelsea Art School Annexe's original name
of Wedgewood [sic], where the pictures were
painted.
Yep - I've been wanting to change it to a mint - y
green for a while now, and my friend Marian is creating a custom shade
of milk
paint to coordinate with our (Heather Gray) island as I
type.
