This is a section from the catalogue on synaesthesia
The art I make is directed
towards the sense of hearing/ sound synaesthesia. I present the art I make via
the sense of the lyrical aspect that transports the sense to the visual one.
One can say, I see an image of the music heard and often the image may be a
moving one. Sight is that enables me to hear sound through the artwork. The
sense of sight carries with it the sense of hearing. The drawings, partly
realistic part abstract, carry with them the inner voice, the hidden. My
drawings are mostly a result of an intuitive reaction to the music and are done
in real time to the sound. My experience of listening to sound is that I see
corresponding colours, shapes, textures line and form. Each colour represents a
physical attribute as well as an emotional one, which I meditate upon during
the drawing process. Loudness and tempo also play a role in how I perceive
sound. I am also able to see colours and shapes from hearing sounds such as
bird calls and animal sounds and being in close proximity to nature. The sounds
evoke smells, tastes and sensations of touch. The process has many
transformations from an image to sound and each new image is created from its
predecessor. Synaesthesia is an inner world where shapes appear to have sound
and smells have tastes.
Best,
