Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Our current digital technologies are as much a part of the cultural heritage of tomorrow as are the material objects we create and the discourses and narratives that bind theory and practice. In this fast moving technological environment, with increa... Read More about Cultural discourse, colour heritage and communication.

Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper considers alternative approaches to image making and printing that moves from the on-screen representation of images and painting applications, to the physical generation and methods for surface deposition or 2.5D printing. The research in... Read More about Reproduction of texture in digitally printed artworks.

Exploration of alternative print methodology for colour printing through the multi‐layering of ink (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper explores the application of artist driven colour mixing and multi-layering of pigments using inkjet printing. A standardised colour managment workflow is essential for predicable and repeatable colour for inkjet printing. With the correct...

Colour mixing in the twenty-first century: the craft of the digital (2013)
Book Chapter

Dr Carinna Parraman was invited to contribute a chapter to the book 'Colour in the Making', a visual history of art and design told through the materials of colour—from the discovery and use of early earth pigments through lakes to organic chemistry...

Colour coded (2011)
Book

This 300 word publication to be published by the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) is a collection of the best papers from a 4-year European project that has considered colour from the perspective of both the arts and sciences. The notion of art... Read More about Colour coded.

3D printing and colour: A multidisciplinary investigation (2011)
Book Chapter

We present ongoing research undertaken within the Centre for Fine Print Research at the University of the West of England, which aims to investigate and exploit new 3D printing and fabrication technologies within the context of the Fine and Applied A...

Experiments in inkjet colour tests for printmaking (2010)
Journal Article

The motivation for this research is based on how artists mix and print colour by traditional means (painting and printmaking) and how these differ from colour picker tools, slider bars and methods developed for digital printing, and whether it is...

New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The most important impact on colour fading in prints is exposure to light and air. However what happens to coloured prints during long-term storage in boxes, drawers and on shelves? In short very little, but changes do occur. Measurements to samples,... Read More about New findings to colour changes in prints during long-term dark storage of prints.

Developments in the recovery of colour in fine art prints through spatial image processing methods (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Printmakers have at their disposal a wide range of colour printing processes. The majority of artists will utilise high quality materials with the expectation that the best materials and pigments will ensure image permanence. However, as many artists...

Pixel and spatial mechanisms of color constancy (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Color constancy remains an important subject of research on color standards, computer imaging, and human color vision. There are many different theories and algorithms that interpret and predict constancy. This paper analyzes three different approach... Read More about Pixel and spatial mechanisms of color constancy.

Spatial image processing for the enhancement and restoration of film, photography and print (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a review of research undertaken into algorithms for colour enhancement methods based on the behaviour of the human vision system and the applied research in film, photography and print. These colour enhancements methods perform au... Read More about Spatial image processing for the enhancement and restoration of film, photography and print.

The development of artists' novel colour palettes for inkjet printing (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this changing environment in which the artist and designer has access to a wide range of digital imaging tools and technologies, that on first glance, are dedicated to the creation of colour mixtures, why is the digital interface and colour outcom...

Artist's colour rendering of HDR scenes in 3D Mondrian colour-constancy experiments (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The presentation provides an update on ongoing research using three-dimensional Colour Mondrians. Two still life arrangements comprising hand-painted coloured blocks of 11 different colours were subjected to two different lighting conditions of a nea...

Colour appearance and colour rendering of HDR scenes: an experiment (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the appearance of coloured objects in a three-dimensional scene, the research introduces a multidisciplinary experimental approach. The experiment employed two identical 3-D Mondrians, which were viewed and... Read More about Colour appearance and colour rendering of HDR scenes: an experiment.

Measuring colour constancy and colour appearance: An experiment (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Paper given at Perception and Sensation Session 3. Colour sensation does not depend strictly of the light signal conveying colour information, but also depends on the arrangement of the visual array of all signals coming from the scene. Colour cons... Read More about Measuring colour constancy and colour appearance: An experiment.

Reflectance, illumination and edges (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We studied color constancy using a pair of 3-D Color Mondrian displays made of two identical sets of painted wooden shapes. There are only 6-chromatic, and 5-achromatic paints applied to nearly 100 block facets. The three-dimensional nature of these... Read More about Reflectance, illumination and edges.
