SEPIA - The godess of Nostalgia

She is an earth colour that has one foot in the past and the other in the future, with an ability to introduce an unwelcome reminder of mortality. Sepia paints a world that can be accepted as unfathomably different from our own. If black and white determines for us the tone of the 1930s or the 1950s, then sepia describes a time that is positively alien. She evokes the emotions of a time older than ours,not only chronologically but also in the sense that it was keyed to the rhythms of old age and ancestry.
