Low light · hard high sun through gaps in the boards, dust hanging in it

Sun-bleached

A face from Sun-bleached

Sun-bleached. Hard low light, dust in the air, and colour that has been left out too long — ochre, faded denim, dry timber and rust. Distances are long and help is far away, which changes what people are willing to do and how long they expect to get away with it. The hottest, driest palette in the set.

The Territorial Clarion

The world exists — the palette, the light, the way its newspapers talk — but nothing has been set here yet. Commission a mystery and describe a setting that fits, and it will be dressed in exactly this.
