Saturn Series: In 2019, Joanna commissioned Sara to create Saturn Bowl, a commission for NASA: to create an artwork that represented space in some way, to be exhibited and auctioned at the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Apollo moon landing. Within the collection only 5 colours are used, derived from an image of Saturn seen through an infrared lens, yet 9 or more colours are visible. This is due to a phenomenon known as simultaneous contrast, where the eye sees different colours depending on the neighbouring hue. One of the strongest colour illusions is that of red juxtaposed with dark blue; the red is altered so much it appears as a bright fuschia pink.
