KARADIN

Synesthetically....I usually am easier with words/sounds than pictures. But I looked through your portfolio and I have the feeling of royal icing like on a wedding cake in my mouth, but not the overpowering sweetness, more of the tongue feel of the piped shapes that decorate it. Maybe it's because your name itself is sweet (Karadin tastes like a Terry's chocolate orange and Ambrosia tinned rice pudding) I have to work hard so often to damp down feelings because I get sensory off so many things, so to really let myself open up while looking through your art was really fun. But feeling the same consistent taste and mouthfeel throughout ALL your art was really interesting, which is strange because I've looked at art by different artists and got different tastes with different pictures (or different tastes with different sounds)

Strangely enough Bowie always felt to me like hugging a large carved polished Giacometti style statue under a blanket, no matter what song he was singing, so I guess I'm picking up on something consistent all the time no matter how different a theme or style is? Mozart is like pure joy in a huge swimming pool full of bath bubbles, Beethoven is always like being wrapped in wet potato sacks, I get the feeling even if I've never heard a piece of his before, I get the potato sack feeling, we even had a test setup in uni where they would play music and try to trick me by playing very similar music, but I always picked out the Beethoven because of the sensory feedback I'd get.

And that is why I don't talk about my sensory issues.

I tried doing it the other way but can't do it!
