Allow me to introduce myself… I am a multimedia artist based in South Wales. I have recently completed an MA in Arts Practice (Arts, Health and Wellbeing), exploring the senses and how they can be used to benefit engagement within the arts. I am passionate about bringing art to individuals who experience the world through a primarily sensory means. Such as those in early stages of development or individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities. I strive to find ways of working that create opportunities for independence and control, things such individuals don’t often have. A person-centred approach is fundamental to my work, as is continuing to develop a greater understanding of a sensory way of being. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Please get in touch if you have any queries! https://sensoryartbubble.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2022-08-09 https://sensoryartbubble.com/sensory-resources daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/04a41f56-be58-4d27-99b4-7f78cb394c11/Body+Map+InDesign+File+Water+Mark+1.2.jpg Sensory Resources 'The Eight Sensory Systems' 2021, Digital Collage.

A small booklet is created to convey their experience using methods such as transcribing vocalisations into sheet music and creating poetry from observations. The booklets design incorporates an element from their Sensory Portrait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/06b29792-5aeb-4990-b748-4ef2b96e53a6/Tactile+Strings.jpg Sensory Portraits ‘Tactile Strings' created using a wooden ring, lace, satin cord, macrame rope & cord. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/2f794a49-a4c9-4de9-8295-fd1f56f28f32/Tactile+Strings+Close+up.jpg Sensory Portraits Designed to engage touch and proprioceptive senses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/a393f020-293f-4ac7-bdf1-43afe81693f2/Reflections.jpg Sensory Portraits 'Reflections & Light' created using a plastic tub, holographic foil, fairy lights & sellotape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/8c19d001-15bb-43db-ad53-af283a90b77b/Reflections+Close+Up.jpg Sensory Portraits Designed to engage vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/70ee29f1-b98f-43eb-bba8-440dbfe1f67a/Resin+Art.jpg Sensory Portraits 'Colourful Reflections' created using a plastic tub, resin, wire & metallic cellophane. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/59d81e09-7a6c-44df-be88-8d2cdfb9742c/Resin+Art+Close+Up.jpg Sensory Portraits Designed to engage visual and vestibular senses. https://sensoryartbubble.com/sensory-art daily 0.75 2021-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/8219253d-25a4-48ea-a72c-fa2c5feb459b/resin.jpg Sensory Art "Eye of the Beholder" - Dipped resin capsulated in a bauble, appealing to vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/b3aad061-c1a1-491c-807d-2e51cfa1b140/Wind+Chime.jpg Sensory Art "Flower Chime" - Created by suspending pens from a wind chime and allowing the music to dictate the drawing.

Everyone has a unique mixture of Sensory System’s that they use to engage with the world. It is these Sensory bias’ and knowledge of the individual that inform the development of the Sensory Portrait as an art piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/1630143499055-KEBK7CO2UW2B0692IS41/Screenshot+%28201%29.png Sensory Books - Transcribed Vocalisations From a video recording of the interaction, I transcribe by ear the individual’s vocalisations. I find that patterns emerge, through their engagement. Occurring for instance at specific moments, such as in response to dropping, pulling or looking at the Sensory Portrait. Each transcription is unique and gives an insight into how the individual may vocalise in response to the world around them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/1630142969571-F25TFCKRML6VUSORI0ZX/Tinfoil+and+Poetry.jpg Sensory Books - Tinfoil Sculptures & Poetry Each individual that engages with my Sensory Portrait project, also has the opportunity to sculpt with tinfoil. This is because it can be engaged with independently and retains the shape created. Tinfoil sculptures feature as an additional element showcasing the individuals engagement with the world around them. Along with this, observations of individuals are turned into a poem or short verse, as a way to share the essence of the experience. Engagement with the Sensory Portraits is also translated into poetry and accompanied by photographs taken during the initial encounter. https://sensoryartbubble.com/sensory-tent daily 0.75 2023-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/badf4996-1388-453a-b053-57de1649b485/20220118_100224.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/9310131e-8efd-4adf-81c2-010a3090d52c/Ty+Hafan+Tent.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/3c50c014-2d7f-4dd8-86e8-659742a1f123/20220308_084056.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/c62790d5-8a0d-40d5-a5eb-42a78c623380/20220127_214122.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/daf025b6-4b45-4fb8-9e37-a1e7bb114d34/GOPR1001.jpg Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/48f2e945-4daf-4683-ad9f-64ef18d0f832/GOPR0971.JPG Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/2ef8e645-7320-4fee-b1aa-eaad8d78462b/GOPR1086.JPG Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/a8c48541-a267-4a65-8785-da009dcab5cf/IMG_3252.jpg Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/27e2467d-9522-4bbf-b7af-490a3a1b885b/20220329_115134.jpg Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/a11398ab-f9af-4c2d-8eab-a3c1c161abef/P1020302.JPG Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/0578116d-e0ac-42b9-bede-5c62b7f13556/20220329_095457.jpg Sensory Art Tent https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610a717f5fb6ae614193f18d/3e1fccc7-041a-449d-9779-e252af8b030b/20220329_095122.jpg Sensory Art Tent
