Luke Alan Mills

BA (Hons) Fine Art

I primarily work with a mobile phone and a digital camera, the qualities of which I use to record the intimacy of the everyday experience, in particular my sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is a condition that takes form during moments of falling in and out of deep sleep.

I aim to create consuming environments and surroundings using sound, video and installation. As a result of these conditions; Physical sensations are evoked as well as confusion, claustrophobia and pain.

I find it important for the audience to be experiencing what I experience to some level. A constant relationship and conversation emerges and my on-going work tests the boundaries of how far these matters can be pushed.


Rydw i’n gweithio’n bennaf gyda ffôn symudol a chamera digidol, a’u defnyddio i gofnodi agosatrwydd profiadau o ddydd i ddydd, yn enwedig fy mharlys cwsg. Mae parlys cwsg yn gyflwr sy’n digwydd yn ystod yr ennyd o fynd i mewn i gwsg dwfn a dod allan ohono.

Fy nod yw creu amgylcheddau ac amgylchoedd ysol gan ddefnyddio sain, fideo a gosodiadau. Mae’r cyflyrau hyn yn peri’r canlynol: teimladau corfforol yn ogystal â dryswch, clawstroffobia a phoen.

Rydw i’n meddwl ei bod yn bwysig i’r gynulleidfa brofi i ryw raddau yr hyn yr ydw i wedi’i brofi. Mae perthynas gyson a deialog yn cael eu sefydlu ac mae fy ngwaith parhaus yn ceisio profi pa mor bell y gall ffiniau’r materion hyn gael eu gwthio.
