Sensory Art
My research into the Sensory Systems has led me to embrace an explorative way of working.
I am always experimenting and seeking new techniques which appeal to the senses.
If you are unfamiliar with our sensory systems, please refer to ‘Sensory Resources’ where I have provided information explaining the 8 Sensory Systems that I consider within my work.
"Eye of the Beholder" - Dipped resin capsulated in a bauble, appealing to vision.
"Flower Chime" - Created by suspending pens from a wind chime and allowing the music to dictate the drawing. Engages proprioceptive and hearing senses during creation.
"Botanical" - Happa Zome on fabric, set into a hoop, this technique engages touch and smell.
"Flower Blooms" - Tea-dyed fabric, set in an embroidery hoop. This technique engages the sense of smell during creation.
"Birds of a Feather" - Hand printed feathers, to engage touch and vision.
"Patchwork Garden" - Monoprinting and Happa Zome on fabric, sewn together. A sensory response to my garden, using proprioception and touch.
