Jamie Lawson - SYNÆSTHESIA TEXT PROJECT 13
“All these motions meant parts of time and fate.” From Hamlet’s Mill by Giorgio de Santillana & Hertha Von Dechend
Synæsthesia Text Projects are an ongoing series of text-based posters revolving around Jamie’s experience of grapheme (letter/number) - colour synæsthesia.
Grapheme - colour synæsthesia on Wikipedia
Below is the letter/colour breakdown – each square corresponds with one of the letters in the phrase (for example: A=blue; L=light brown; T=orange; H=dark orange; &c.). In the final art I try to represent the effect that I perceive from the combination of letters, the initial letter of each word having a pronounced sway over the rest.
