Response

When choosing the three rules for my week’s theme, I tried to stay away from what I’m comfortable with. I usually tend to stay away from anything sound related, for me, It was quite hard to connect my artwork with sounds, and I always choose a very static and safe option for my work. Due to this matter, I chose this rule to face It head on.  

Initially, I thought of literally visualise sound using a video that presents the work with the ‘sounds’ that Im using. However during the course of the week, I was Inspired by the Idea of synesthesia and how some artists manipulate this ability to create stunning artworks. While listening to a few songs from the same album ‘Heads In the Clouds II’, I tried to create some ‘paintings’ that could represent what I think I see when I listen to them. 

Shouldn’t couldn’t wouldn’t Is dominated by the colour purple, as It starts with a bit of a sensual note. Gold Coast Is mostly orange and yellow, as the song feels warm and summery, and a perfect song to be accompanied by a sunset. Indigo has a sad tone to It, but It also sounded fierce and strong.  

I tried to corporate some textures Into the pieces to differentiate the feelings that I want to portray through the paintings. I want to I subtly create an atmosphere that the colours and vibrations represent
