Developing my creative practice in immersive tech

I am super excited to share that over the past 6 months, I have been part of ‘Developing your Creative Practice Fund' with Arts Council England.

During this period, I have been working on bringing my traditional artwork to life using digital technologies. For one of my projects, I have been exploring how to create an immersive installation that engages the senses. Throughout this journey, I have investigated ways to make my artwork interactive through sound, movement, smell, and touch. This has allowed me to elevate my art to a new level, where you can become a part of it and walk around within my installation.

I have collaborated with lots of different emerging artists from creative technologists, model makers, illustrators, and musicians to engineers. Over the next coming months, I will be showcasing at different events and venues across Leicester. I will be sharing behind the scenes about the exciting projects I have curated on my website and social media!

I also want to take a second to thank @artscouncil for giving me this time to explore and shape my practice, to create innovative artwork that uses our different senses to make my artwork innovative, thought-provoking and most importantly accessible!

Garden of senses

As part of my grant I have created a interactive installation inspired by nature. This installlation is interactive through sound and movement, through the large fabric and paper flowers. The installation is immersive, I have played with the use of senses, there will be a smell of grass whilst you are able to walk around the piece.

Here is a sketch of the installation and will be shortly updated to the real thing!

Sensory art

Alongside my paintings, there will be an object that, when you squeeze the pump, releases a scent related to the artwork, immersing you in the experience.
