Brain Landscapes "The ‘noise’ of persistent unwanted negative thoughts and emotions were almost impossible to shift; no amount of mindfulness calmed them. Sometimes painful, always doggedly loud, the relentless subconscious mind hurled fractured memories at me. Pictures would appear like a high speed self-flicking photo album, bombarding me with not just the image but the corresponding emotion, feeling or sensation. Happening too quickly to catch, pin down or make sense of. Brain Landscapes are a glimpse of that experience." Below are a selection of Brain Landscapes images, an MRI scan of Yvonne's brain and the resulting short film clip capturing the persistent 'noise' of unwanted negative thoughts and emotions. The film was exhibited as part of the neXus 2020: a multi-venue international art exchange organised and curated by Urbanflo Creative , with o nline galleries at Photofringe and Vrystaatkunstefees . 1/1

Look Down The 'Look Down' series was exhibited as part of INEXTRICABLE (2) an exhibition in the 2016 Brighton Photo Fringe Festival. The theme explores 'loanwords' in the English language - everyday words firmly entrenched in our vocabulary which have been adopted from another language. "Yvonne explores the connections between words and images. The photographs alone are intentionally banal and ambiguous. By using the history and meaning of words she highlights other possible meanings within the images." look (v.) Old English locian "use the eyes for seeing, gaze, look, behold, spy," from West Germanic *lokjan down (adv.) Late Old English shortened form of Old English ofdune "downwards," from dune "from the hill," down (n.) A sense development peculiar to English. Used as a preposition since c. 1500. Sense of "depressed mentally " is attested from c. 1600. shoe (n.) Old English scoh "shoe," from Proto-Germanic *skokhaz To stand in someone's shoes "see things from his or her point of view" is attested from 1767. lace (n.) early 13c., laz , "cord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.," from Old French laz "a net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snare" and as preserved in shoelace (late 14c.), "piece of cord used to draw together the edges of slits or openings in an article of clothing". sneaker (n.) 1590s, "one who sneaks," agent noun from sneak (v.). Meaning "rubber-soled shoe" is attested from 1895, American English; earlier sneak (1862), so called because the shoe was noiseless. The INEXTRICABLE project has been developed and curated by Jenni Lewin-Turner of urbanflo creative .

Creating a character and backstory for the original creator of The Museum of Curious Memories. The Archivist I am in the midst of creating a large interactive piece of work called ‘The Museum of Curious Memories ’. A seemingly endless collection of memories stored in bottles, boxes and books. As a back story for its creation I ventured to the beginnings of Museum History and 17th Century London . Looking through parish registers, vestry books, archives and maps. I’ve chosen specific places and times, invented characters and gathered real historical objects to make the story feel inhabited rather than imagined.

My Miniature Art Gallery Get in touch During the period of lockdown in 2020, I created My Miniature Art Gallery. Tiny art kits that can be used at home to create your own miniature masterpieces and gallery exhibition. From these very small beginnings other things come into being. This is what I call small but infectious ideas. Watch the little film below to see how the ideas grew when others began to play and create. The My Miniature Art Gallery project packs were used by Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust , Safety Net Brighton and the Arc Centre in Stockport . You can still join in!
