Title: A LIFE IN COLOUR
Medium: Mixed media and body art
Dimensions: N/A
Price: goggles for £45-50
Synopsis: The work displays a visual representation of the therapist to patient dynamic. The goggles overhead represent the therapist, spectator and authoritarian presence; whilst the white model represents humanity in its most naive form, uncoloured by life experience. The pigments thrown onto the model are characteristic of the various voices/ opinions/ experiences that are thrown at us throughout our lives; both discoloring and at the same time beautiful. Thus it is the therapist's task to wade through these colours, discussing the detrimental and nurturing the beneficial until the paitent can distinguish a confident sense of self, accepting the colours 'he' now wears.
