Antrop and Eetvlde (2017) write on the ‘fundamental distinction between seeing and looking’. My work explores this notion through manipulation of sensory aspects, discussing the curation of a sensory understanding which deviates from the typically expected. My practice uses a range of mediums, such as object, film, movement and sound to deprive and contradict sensory understanding. Through the main context of film and performance, I have explored provoking tactility in conjunction with the body, experimenting with altering experience for both creator and viewer through manipulation and juxtaposition. My work aims to entice interaction and provoke unconventional entanglement of the senses. Despite working with paint for the majority of my artistic years - including the previous years on this course - my degree has allowed me to develop and further my skills in other areas such as film and photography. This term my fascination with the senses and the individualism of the mind (on which I also wrote my Dissertation) has lead me to integrate my dance and movement background into my work, learning more about performance within a fine art and film context. This has allowed me to utilise expression through movement in conjunction with the my topic – developing a stripped back communication of form and the sensory realm. I plan to work towards a career in Art Therapy. This has been a passion of mine for years, however, my experience this year of learning more about the mind, the senses, and the way in which individuals interact has confirmed for me that this is an area I would love to further my knowledge and specialise in.
