Don't You Like the Green of A?

Don’t You Like the Green of A? is based on the correspondences between letters and colors specific to Joan Mitchell’s synesthesia––a condition that Henricks happens to share with her. Synesthesia is a neurological syndrome in which perception by one sense automatically triggers a perception in one of the other senses. This connectivity between senses may be manifested in different ways. For example, in grapheme-colour synaesthesia, numbers or letters are associated with colors; in music-color synesthesia, people perceive color by hearing a sound or music.
