A project exploring the senses and control. The artwork represents the stream of consciousness and being in the moment of creation. Giving up control and leaving the final outcome up to chance. After writing spur-of-the-moment poetry and memorizing it off by heart, I proceeded to write it out using my less dominant hand and with my eyes closed. The colourful background is made up of paint leftover on my palettes after painting the representative imagery from the poetry.  Thus the colours reflect the essence of the poems and bring the process to an end.

A Sense of Poetry

Emulating the chaotic nature of nature through inhibiting the sense of sight while creating landscapes from memory, bringing nature from the outside in, during a time of social distancing and self-isolation.  By giving up control of one sense, I begin to have more control over another, teaching me that a lack of control doesn't have to be seen as a limitation but rather a positive opportunity for one to learn something new.  It is important to remember that negative experiences, however difficult they may be, bring necessary learning opportunities.
