The work attempts to communicate the phenomenon of daydreaming or “mind wandering” that dyslexics have a propensity to experience when overwhelmed with information; a holistic ability of gathering thought, looking outwards at trees through a window (for example) taking a break to put things into perspective. The metaphor of trees morphing on water conveys how myself as a dyslexic artist sees the world from my subjective experience. The work is a doubling as the drawing reflects the trees above and below water, conveying the principle of symmetrical perception and chiaroscuro, light and dark. By using the montage to depict the image, the artist engaged in the process of deconstruction—or the breaking down and taking apart of the image—and then putting together to create the holistic perception of the morphing trees on water. Consistent with the idea of the vantage point, the image must be viewed from a certain distance to be apprehended and appreciated. The work represents transcendence from the traumatic experience of discrimination and stigmatisation common amongst dyslexic artists as we navigate the world, thus liberating ourselves from the constraints of our marginalised existence.

I have always been interested in art. I grew up in the countryside in a large family of eight siblings; two of whom were also artists. I won two awards in art as a child at school. PE and Art were the only areas I was able to achieve in. Forty years later I was found to be dyslexic. This epiphany changed my thinking and understanding of myself in many ways. I began to paint water in my twenties as I was fascinated by it. The jewel like aspect. It is a difficult thing to apprehend as it is kinetic. I believed that by studying this subject area I would learn techniques through diligence and the difficulty endured by trying to paint and draw something in motion. I then became fascinated in the aesthetical nature of reflections and refractions and how these abstract forms can be realised into stylised patterns. Whilst living in City of Wells (during my younger years) I would often go out in the rain (sometimes perilously avoiding the lightening), camera in hand. This was before computer technology was as accessible and prevalent as it is today. So I would develop my analogue SLR camera footage and manually crop images to draw from and then paint.
