The Concept

Biologist Jakob von Uexküll used the word Umwelt to describe the "sensory bubble" unique to every living creature. While a honeybee sees ultraviolet patterns we cannot, humans are no different; as writer Will Storr suggests, we construct our own realities through narrative. We share the same physical space, yet we each inhabit a distinct world shaped by memory and sense.

The Collection

This exhibition explores the Umwelt I have inhabited during six years in Bristol. Through vibrant paintings and mixed-media pieces and incorporating found vintage materials like matchboxes - I look for stories in the ordinary. For me, colour is a language of emotion used to translate the everyday into a shared visual experience.
