We’re inspired by New Jersey-based artist Madiha Siraj’s installations made of thousands of paint swatches from Lowe’s. We never thought of actually using swatches to decide more than a paint color, but as a material unto themselves for improvising designs and kaleidoscopes of color. (We especially love the effect created by having some of the swatches stick out from the wall, to become 3-D. )
