All the Colours We Have (for Paul Carter)

Paul Carter - Scottish artist and good friend - died ten years ago today. We grew up together, and this is part of my memorial for him.

When Paul's family got their first computer, he found that the Sinclair ZX Spectrum's limited palette wasn't enough. The text in this installation is what I remember him asking me.

medium: Sinclair BASIC, Z80 assembly language.
