Festival: 2019

My focus is on creating a communicative language through the use of mark-making. With a desire to visualise my dyslexic cognitive reasoning and responses, I abstract line and form from my self-portrait to create personal drawings that visualise the chaotic, transient nature of my thoughts and ideas.

I am interested in drawings as a ‘language activity’, and how it can be used as a form of communication. Through my practice I want to increase the awareness and understanding of living with dyslexia by creating visual responses to my own experiences.
