Making Dyslexia Visible
The ‘Gobbledygook’ sculptures captivate audiences by celebrating the positive contributions of neurodiversity, particularly highlighting the unique perspectives brought by individuals with dyslexia. Characterised by fused and intertwined letters, these intricate artworks invite viewers to actively engage with the pieces, revealing hidden meanings within the tangled typography. This work showcases the creative potential inherent in diverse cognitive processes, sparking meaningful conversations about how neurodivergent thinking enriches society.
Through these thought-provoking sculptures, the artist encourages audiences to embrace the innovative ways neurodivergent individuals interpret the world. These artworks inspire a shift in perception, recognising dyslexia not as a challenge to be overcome but as a source of creative strength and original thought. The impact of the artwork goes beyond aesthetic appreciation, fostering introspection and dialogue about the value of cognitive diversity in driving cultural and intellectual growth.
‘Gobbledygook - Frustration’
This work expresses Jon's frustration with written language, stemming from experiences in the workplace and during his Fine Art MA. It was a response to the lack of understanding he experienced while studying and working.
To craft these innovative conceptual sculptures, the artist employs a range of digital tools, including computers and 3D printers. By visually manipulating and transforming words, the artist creates distinctive pieces that celebrate the complexities of neurodivergence. The fusion of traditional artistic concepts with modern digital techniques allows for the development of artworks that not only challenge conventional forms but also serve as a powerful affirmation of the positive impact of neurodiversity on society.
