Olfactorium – incorporating ‘Portrait of the Artist'

#finalyear

I am presenting an olfactory installation comprising of several elements, four large screen print representations of the olfactory bulb within my own brain. Accompanied by four smaller versions of the same image, infused with friction activated scent. Ideally representing the various aspects of my own personality with smell. Alongside the 2D work is a large, suspended, soft sculpture of an olfactory bulb, infused with several odours of it's own. My practice is centred around creating art beyond the visual. Solely, or enhanced, by olfactory elements aiming to stimulate certain psychological responses; as an aid to invoking certain memories and evoking a variety of emotions; ultimately enabling the viewer to engage with the art in a new way.
