Abstract

My practice is concerned with the effects of painting and drawing on perceptualsystems. The purpose of this research is to examine our material relationship to theworld and to consider how we might shift our views in order to broaden our perceptualexperiences. In this thesis I will examine the collaborative role of materials in our dailylives and provide examples of how these interactions might affect the ways in which weengage with life, art, and artistic practice.
