‘Embrace me – pass through me – leave me’
Portsmouth 17th may
28 days
Coming back on the train the other day I have to close my eyes but can feel my skin burning invaded by the ‘shine’ intensity – i can taste – feel it touch me – pass through me like Xrays
I’m not sure what it is about yellow that scares me so much – its always been that way from an early age – fearful yellow raincoat that when locked inside gave me protection as well as headache
It makes me feel quite ill and have used this to a fashion in my early artwork including the Turbine Hall day installation of line and sound in 2008
synaestheia seems to be more ‘available’ to people with aspergers (spell check wishes to change to upsurges) it seems – never knew the name till a few years ago – (spell check wanted to change this to sunbather) ironic considering what the Tate piece was about – i wouldn’t have it any other way – as I taste and feel sound as 3D object- sound is important as raw material in my work for the project
I wrap
my arms
around its
self-contained potential
