Kirk Sutherland

I am a synesthete (sometimes spelled synesthete). A synesthete is a person who has synesthesia
Synesthesia is a blend of the senses. It happens when activating one sense or thought automatically triggers an extra, unrelated sense. For example, I taste colour, visualize abstract noise or sounds, words, names and numbers have favours and many more traits as well.
I absolutely enhances my perception and overall creative process and output.
Have a colourful day-Kirk🙏media .dreaming

This is a soak stain piece titled Muladhera from the Celestial Series.
I've been keenly influenced and fascinated by the Color Field Movement throughout my career. This series of works seek makes bold statements on colour, fluidity, experimentation and the surrendering of control. These pieces are post-painterly in nature and document the process itself.
