Much of  the  education work that I do is based around  a combination of synesthesia  (the blending of one or more of the senses) and the development of  linguistic and visual vocabularies. In gaining the 'back door' to our perceptions,   the same techniques have helped children from primary school children , new designers, to actors ,writers and special needs groups to create visual work that does not rely on an individual's ability to draw or even write, but to simply to communicate.
