These are in the Art page, but I wanted to call them out.I'm doing a series of paintings based on my synesthetic responses to numbers. I have grapheme-color synesthesia, which in my case means that I perceive numbers as having innate color properties. (To get even more detailed, my synesthesia is based on the concept of the number, not the actual physical representation of it--so just thinking of the "concept" of, for example, the number 5, makes me perceive orange. If I see a 7 and a 2, my mind turns it into a math problem, and I get blue for the 7, yellow for the 2, and orange for the 5 that's implied when you subtract 2 from 7. Just...go with it.)So, sometimes I either see or just think of a number, and it gets stuck in my head like a melody. Those numbers have been winding up on canvas. This is the first one:
