Introduction To My Art Practice and Sensory Artwork Guides: Spawning New Artworks With You
I am a visual artist who explores the intricate relationship between my sensory environment and neurodistinctions, delving into the sensations that arise within my body as a result.
Through my artistic practice, I spawn hybrid creations that traverse the realms of Web3 and social media, engaging with digital platforms to reach a wider audience. Continuously in search of a secure cocoon in which to exist.
I employ the creation of sensory and process art as my unique methodology. As a visual artist, I utilize digital media and video installations to further explore and express my artistic vision.
Art Projects
One of my current hybrid ‘spawns’ is the project My Heart is Glitching.
Here I express my understanding of the physical sensations that arise through my body as a result of my sensory environment. Trying to speak to these in a way of educating and calming myself as to what is happening.
Each has my interpretation of this occurrence through an artwork and these are shared through ‘Xitter’ and the Web3 platform Objkt selling with Tezos cryptocurrency.
What Am I Doing On Medium
Here enters my introduction to Medium and this wonderful community of thinkers.
Hello!
A sensory artwork guide is a spawn of My Heart is Glitching but now with YOU.
The more I learn and interact with this community, the more my mind opens and my process of creation makes more sense within our interactions.
I always see my creative process as more of a non-linear ‘spiders-web’ way of working. Overlapping and interweaving with people I meet online and AFK (away-from-keyboard) each day.
It makes sense to me now, and why something always felt like it was missing in the traditional sense of presenting my works that has now clicked into place.
I would like to now share my creative process in working with you.
Creating Your Own Sensory Artwork Guide
The outcome will be in the form of your own personalized sensory artwork guide.
Combing a choice of artworks I will share, and intertwining with your own unique reflections.
These will be available through a free customizable Canva template. You are welcome to print the template for your personal use only.
You will be responding to your sensory environment and physical sensations.
Involving a series of choices, personal questions and self-insight as much as you feel comfortable. Through reflecting upon artwork I will provide.
Your Support
This introduction and the 1st iteration of the artwork guide will be completely free and open but some of the content will be for members only.
- If you join as a member it is $5 per month.
- Your membership means a lot and your interactions, claps and comments drives support to the Medium community!
Schedule
- Monday mornings 7am through September — December 2023: I will share guides, check-ins or updates. To learn what is or isn’t working and what might be interesting to try out.
- This is a highly unusual way to create artwork with an audience but I feel we are open to new ideas on this platform, and I’m excited to see what will happen.
- My process thrives on feedback and to know how you find these. So please do comment publically or privately, and let me know how it goes :)
My personal viewpoint on creating art is more of a compulsion, an essential ritual to keep me safe and to be able to express myself through life.
In the words of Will.i.am for creatives the process is to —
let it out, to rinse yourself . It’s like you absorb, you rinse
Try It For Yourself
Watch out for the launch next week 7am BST (28 August 2023) where I will be sharing the first iteration; to make your own personalized sensory artwork guide.
