SYNAESTHESIA
I'm deeply fascinated by neuroscience and the ways our brains process and interpret sensory information. From the interplay of smell and memory to the visual and emotional responses to colour, I’m drawn to how these mechanisms shape our experiences. The intersection of perception and emotion inspires much of my work, as I explore how these sensory experiences can be translated into visual art.
COLOURFUL LANGUAGE
Born from a love of paint charts - with their tiny velvety squares and evocative names - and a reflection on how the pandemic reshaped our language and lives. Words like "Furlough," "Isolation," and "Distance" seemed to mirror the evocative names of paint colours, sparking an exploration of how language and colour connect to memory and emotion.​​
This project has grown into a collection of colour charts, each capturing a specific vocabluarly of a moment in time. They reflect on how we experience and remember collective and personal events - infused with a touch of humour and a celebration of colour. ​​
Seven different designs are available to order as limited edition prints. All versions can be seen below. If you’d rather not be reminded of 2020, there are also non-lockdown charts featuring words you use a lot when you become a parent or hit 50 - The New Parenting Palette or The Mid-Life Set.
CALENDAR SYNASTHESIA
This project is inspired by my experience of perceiving time as visual and spatial forms. Months and years appear as loops, shapes, and colours, with variations in density marking key events or emotions. This phenomenon became a challenge to represent through art, transforming abstract mental imagery into tangible works.
​
The two series overlap in works like February 2021, where a month is visualized using a palette tied to daily emotions and events. Stripes mark the progression of days, with white spaces for sleep, creating a deeply personal yet universal composition that bridges time, memory, and colour.​​
​
Using the colours from my chart which are titled after the moods, emotions and activities those colours illicit. I journaled a month in colour, using the relative colour, the days of the month readng from left to right, each day starting at the top of the canvas.
