You'll like Alicia if: you see each color as its own texture.

Alicia Little uses a formal visual language to make relationships between color, shape and form, often addressing architectural space. Working in various modes including drawing, painting, video, sculpture, and installation, found objects, fabrics, plaster, and paint are common materials within the work. Mass produced objects and their waste materials are sought out for formal value, leaving behind utilitarian function to focus on tactile and visual qualities. Pattern, color, and shapes intertwine in a cyclical and loosely systematic way.
