This is typical of most of Shiraishi's work in that colour is used to emphasize tone and line and seems to continue past the borders of her canvas to offer a penetrating and intense experience. "She herself collects examples of colours in boxes. Cutting out samples from labels, magazines, wrappers, she has assembled a huge catalogue of printed hues. Each box contains hundreds of telling scraps. Which is the largest box? White. She has so many examples of white that she needs two boxes for them all." (Quote taken from book: Shiraishi, Yuko. Temperature: Installation, Project and Painting, 14 September - 15 October 2005. London, England, 2005.)
