Suzanne Foss

Visual Art – Edmonton

Suzanne Foss, 22 is a third year Design Studies student at Macewan University. She embeds all of the lyrics to a song within each piece of her artwork. The lyrics begin in the top left corner and read across and down to the bottom right corner. If you know the words to the song, you can find them. Suzanne has synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. This allows Suzanne to see the music and words she hears. Every image within the artwork is inspired by what she sees when listening to the music/ hearing the words.
