Artists statement:

Project title: Synaesthesia
My abstract images are explorations into the hidden areas of the brain, the sub-conscious. It is my aim to use everyday media to bring a new ‘un-seen’ world. In everyday life we rely on the auditory part of our brain to process the world through letters and numbers, often neglecting our visual perception.
‘Synaesthesia’ is the crossing of the senses, whereby one can ‘see’ music or ‘hear’ pictures. I aim to bring these elements together by manipulating colour and form, resulting in bright, textured, loud images or quite, humming, tranquil images. Images that can calm and images that can raise your heartbeat.
