My work is centred on the longing to communicate through barriers such as a learning disability. The work itself comes from the idea of home-sign and secret languages steaming from childhood. Language is only subjective. The work communicates through the use of the body and sign writing, using hands as a physical means to express. The colour blue is imperative to the work. Many people with learning difficulties like dyslexia often suffer from Visual Stress. Visual stress makes reading extremely difficult, However the colour blue acts as a visual aid to the work, making it clearer and more legible to those who suffer, like myself - (Artist's statement).
