Beth's Sixth Sense

My artwork symbolizing the sixth sense, namely intuition, resulted from the infusion of previous prints depicting visual representation of my five senses and an eternal line (my intuition) which hovers among the traces of each sense. This line spoke to me during the week of class. Through the following artwork, I answered her call.

I created the images by layering past prints with a fotage line image (my intuition). I believe that intuition is not a physical element, but an eternal ambience shaped by memories triggered by our five senses. While creating these prints, the following memories of the sea came to mind mirroring what intuition means to me.

Intuition

Like the sea, which ebbs and flows churning amidst the saltiness of her living soul

Intuition embodies an ambience of eternity

Flowing gently between the repetitive sculpture of sand and weed

Rolling life and death with each stroke

Feel her heart beat in the crash of a storm infused wave

Taste her fresh breath in the whisper of the wind

Her eyes illuminate a dreamt spectrum

Stop, pause and hear

Her thoughts pulling and pushing you deep into the depths of the unknown

I am drowning in a sea of intuition.

6th Sense


Most of us are aware of our sense; smelling, touching, seeing, tasting and hearing. Not many of us are aware of our sixth sense, that sense of otherworldliness, a connection to something more and greater than their physical senses are able to perceive. A world of unseen encounters, unheard communications and untouched feelings. I decided to explore the different layers of our world; the ones that are superimposed and that we share with the spirit world.

For this last project, I decided to create some new prints that would be more appropriate for this theme of the sixth sense. I used the frottage technique on tracing paper with black and white printing inks. There are three layers of film; the first one is a map outline, that represents the world, and a sense of direction; the second one as the words: unseen, unheard and untouched, for this misconnection we have with the other world; the third one is a white mist of ink on the surface of the film, which represent the foggy veil between the different worlds. I also cut-out map shapes from previous prints created in class. The map pieces, like puzzle pieces, are floating around between the layers, the realms that make up our reality.

I continued to use maps in this last project. It felt to me that we would need them to find our way and tapping into our sixth sense. Since it is an uncharted world, a map would be useful and need for this to explore this other dimension. We would need a pathway to the discovery of this incorporeality.

Cherish's Sixth Sense

I have always been fascinated by dreams, which is why I chose to represent them here in my "sixth sense" prints. Dreams aren't just recollections of the day or images we have seen before. They are both prophetic and a priori. They are inexplicable firings of pure creativity. They influence our feelings, emotions, and ideas. I hope to continue exploring the visual and emotional nature of dreams through art.

For my sixth sense: I chose to go with feelings or intuition

Art that reminded me of this was Jackson Pollock. His art does not seem to have meaning, yet it can evoke emotion in the viewer. Like a sixth sense, we cannot put our finger on what makes us follow our intuition. A feeling is evoked and we must follow it. I used two of my previous prints, combined with acrylic paint and Rives paper.
