Ashley G Garner - Synaesthesia

The synesthesia phenomenon is traditionally said to be the confusion of senses; like hearing color or feeling pain from sound. Garner has synthesized dyes, influenced by color psychology, with symbolic flora to elucidate this phenomenon in viewers through a six part series exploring the Solfeggio frequencies, an ancient six-tone musical scale speculated to have healing properties.

Working across multiple artistic platforms which include still life, editorial, figurative, video and self-portrait’s Ashley’s work dances with many conversations that stretch from the social to the metaphysical world with themes of duality, mythology, and transcendental symbolism.
