A gallery of art and synaesthesia - inspired by the music of Peter Gabriel
I had always assumed that everybody associated colours and textures with sounds and music. One day, I discovered the name of this neurological condition – synaesthesia. I learnt about synaesthesia through musician Peter Gabriel's interactive game, Eve, and as a fan of Gabriel's music, in 2004, I finally decided to try and 'illustrate' several Gabriel songs, based on the colours and forms I saw in my mind's eye. The result was nine very abstract pieces, yet a theme and similarity emerged as they were produced.
