Through her work as #socially engaged arts practitioner and #therapeutic arts facilitator, Alexandra Blythe is currently examining a variety of questions on the origins of #inspiration.
A particular dimension which has become apparent is the effect that one’s personal level of #mental disengagement has on the qualities of #spontaneous, or non-autonomous, #creativity.
Considering such levels of #disengagement to be a continuous spectrum; via#logician, #scientist and #artist, through #psychotic and beyond: the question is, how does one’s position on the spectrum affect, one’s ability to engage with, and one’s #methodology surrounding artistic inspiration and #interpretation?
Using #film to negotiate #theoretical praxis at various points of this spectrum: Alexandra Blythe has derived a methodology of comparison between different levels of engagement with inspiration, and through this research examined and strengthened her own artistic position.
Leaving #audience engagement with, and interpretation of, each film open to question reflects the #ethereal #nature of the original proposition and the#infinite variety of personal #experience brought into play.
Moving on, post MA, Alexandra Blythe has found her curiosity particularly stimulated by exploration of #information 'concealed' within film footage; whether it be the very pixels of #digital #imagery, the inclusion of #subliminal information or the effect of after-image on #visual #perception. This exploratory work may lead to further engagement in studies in this area.
More recent work is Informed by a deep #love of science and nature, with 2D work encompassing explorations of #camouflage, information processing and #interpretation, #concealment and #revelation.
