A Window into Consciousness

The art I create has always been inspired by the unseen and the easily missed objects and ideas in everyday life. Raising the question, what is more over looked than the power of our own brains. There are many different ideas on what it means to be conscious, and the topic has been creatively and scientifically explored throughout the world. Our minds are what allow us to react to the world around us, but how often do we think about our consciousness itself?

This body of work is based on the internal mapping of the mind. It has been created to display the idea that our consciousness is ever changing and has a fluidity which allows us to constantly develop the way we think and how we understand the world around us.

It is this fluidity that I wished to capture as a physical representation of how I imagine the internal appearance of my own thoughts. This combined with scientific research based on the human relationship with the colour spectrum has allowed me to constructed ‘a window into consciousness’. I hope to allow the viewer to have a raw experience of my consciousness, and instil an emotional reaction and a sense of curiosity within the individual.

Exploring the fragmentation of memory through the physicality of found objects and the spoken word, my work has become an archive of my family history. Due to the archival nature of my work, I replicate ways of preserving my objects through the attentiveness of their...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
