Surrealist creator and researcher in Art & Sound
All of my work depicts the cross sensory experiences of audio-to-visual synesthesia, through both a micro and macro lens of artistic expression.
My synesthetic daily experiences are shared both figuratively and metaphorically, within my artwork (illustrations, paintings, multimedia pieces) and written work (essay, poems and screenplays).
The visual art presented explores the phonetics of music and speech (ex. a word, a name, or number) and their synesthetic colour and shape associations. I also enjoy making illustrative references to the pareidolia experienced when receiving audio impulse.
Commissioned work has included artwork created for particular names, dates and numbers, as well as favourite and meaningful songs.
