This work is part of a project that investigates and proposes strategies to cope with the stressful effects of overstimulation: too much information, too much noise, and too much choice. This is my world: I live in the centre of a commercial urban environment. This environment is deliberately designed to attract our attention. Imagery, colour, slogans and branding demand a response. Inevitably, we are compelled to process, sort, select or reject.
At the beginning of the last century artists experimenting with abstraction believed that colour shape and line could be manipulated to affect the soul[1]. In the contemporary commercial environment we are subjected to a sophisticated manipulation of our subconscious. These images are the outcome of applying a simple filter to the local city centre environment. Does this reduce or increase demand on our subconscious? Is this yet another form of seduction or an intrusion that requires interpretation?
