Original artwork description:

The actual title is “Tasting Sound and Hearing Flavour”, but there’s a max character length.

This is another artwork about synesthesia, although instead of a particular taste I wanted to play on the crossing of senses visually. Someone in passing mentioned “tasting shapes” as a joke about how they were confused about something. It made me think about how I do taste shapes, I very much describe flavour in terms of shapes and colour, although an entirely useless way to communicate the description of a flavour even to other people who imagine things with synesthesia. However a very useful way to start an interesting conversation.

So here’s my artwork hearing flavour, an ear travelling across a pear doused in pink passing by a nose smelling a green floating wave. Bouncing between its own walls (your own mind) and half a statue thinking on one side while the head drips down the other.

The entire scene, your mind thinking about a flavour or sound.

This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.
