This series marks the beginning of a broader inquiry into felt experience.  An exploration of how visual language can evoke physical sensation.  Through a meditative painting process, I work with motifs of hair, feathers, and fur to investigate the tactile memory embedded in these familiar, bodily materials. Each 30 x 30cm painting is a sensory fragment, an intimate meditation on texture, memory, and the threshold between modification and manipulation, protection and projection, the seen and the sensed. I explore contrast in colour, light, and form to examine how visual triggers might simulate the sensation of touch or emotion.

Throughout this process, questions emerged: What makes us feel something when we see it? How does colour communicate across the senses? Does contrast sharpen our awareness, or soften it? What happens to sensation when colour is removed or altered? If we were colourblind, would we still feel the same response?

Studies in Sensation offers a quiet space to consider these questions, where image and feeling meet and where our inner sensory landscapes are stirred by surface alone.
