Eye of the beholder
Glow In The Dark Project
2018 - Present
Mixed Media
In the last decade over 200 biofluorescent species have been discovered, including the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle. Human beings are unable to see this bioflurescence with the naked eye, we can see this phenomenon only when using a yellow filter that removes the blue range of light in the ocean.
Eye of the Beholder aims to question what we take for granted, considering perception, its effect on our lives and the way we live in the world. There is often more to life than meets the eye, sometimes all we need do is change our perspective and we are able to see and experience life in an entirely new light.
This piece speaks of the beauty of coral, the tragedy of coral bleaching and the absolutely mind blowing magnificence of bioflourescence.
Immersive Installation
“I wanted to enable the viewer to delve into an experience, enabling them to engage with a sense of wonder & awe, to transport them to another world and give them the opportunity to feel that sense of wonder and awe.”
Delicate Ceramic objects
‘I felt that there was an integral beauty in the forms of this work so wished not only to create immersive large scale installation but smaller, more delicate objects that can be enjoyed at home.’
Drawings & Prints
‘A great deal of drawings and prints have been produced in the making of this piece. Including glow in the dark prints which can be enjoyed at home.’
