This particular body of work aims to open a window into the world of perceiving with blended senses. Through the use of spray-paint and acrylic, each abstract expressionist piece is composed of the colours I see upon hearing or reading it’s title. 

The name Synesthesia is derived from Greek. Loosely translated the word means “perceiving together.” The the condition itself presents in many different ways and studies have confirmed that the phenomenon is biological, automatic and apparently unlearned, distinct from both hallucination and metaphor. I have what is known as Colour-grapheme Synesthesia/ Conceptual Synesthesia which means I see both letters and numbers in vivid colour. Abstract concepts, such as units of time or mathematical operations I see as shapes projected internally or in the space around me. Having never been able to properly describe these projections using just words, each of my Synesthetic pieces is an attempt at a clearer translation ... I hope you enjoy what you see!
