When working with a black and white colour palette, it represents the subject of life and death. I always find myself blending the two colours together showing that they come together and you can't have one without the other - acting as a therapy in itself, for me, as its helping me accept that after life comes death and it will happen to every single one of us. I also find it quite calming to blend the two colours together with a palette knife - spreading the point across the wood is soothing to me; becoming a way to cope with reality - a coping mechanism.
