My research-based practice operates at the intersection between art and mental wellbeing, experimenting with diagrammatic drawing, data visualisation, urban science and scientific imagery of the human mind. Over the past three years, I have been focusing on EEG records of brainwaves that attempt to account for our elusive experience of fancy, remembrance, hypnagogia and dream.

Appropriating graphic notations from various disciplines, found illustrations, fragments of books and digital databases, and layering them with pictorial marks, analytic structures, emotional codes and handwritten notes, I create a non-linear language to map the imaginative thinking activity of my mind. I read and draw simultaneously as the imagery prompted by the text occurs, endeavouring to keep track of their proliferation and interrogating their cognitive value.

Elements from the resulting drawings are transposed into sculptural materials and give origin to immersive installations. An example are the selected segments of brainwaves, laser cut into plexiglass of transparent, mirroring and fluorescent textures, that I suspended within urban landscapes. They filter the subjective perception of space and set up a playground for the visual mind: open structures inviting their viewer to engage with fantastic associations, recollections and interpretations. Physical space turns into a collectively accessible and empathic visualisation of our inner mindscape, reflecting on the value of imagination in our production-oriented urban society and our frenzied and fragmented experience of a global digitised world.
