ZenZones

Meditative Art

I brought together my work as an artist and meditation teacher to create seven meditative spaces, known as ZenZones. It was for an exhibition in Sunderland in 2020.

Seven of my original meditative artworks were digitally rendered, then animated, before being paired with music I'd composed. The plan was to project them at a larger scale, filling each zone and creating a unique immersive experience.

Each visitor would experience something unique to them — whether that was a sense of relaxation, a reconnection with inner calm and tranquillity, or an uplifting effect on their emotional wellbeing.

For those who had more time, there was an opportunity to immerse themselves long enough to enter a gentle meditative state, or even an altered state of consciousness.

The videos and the original artworks are available to view here. Unfortunately, 2020 was also the year the Covid pandemic threw everyone's plans out the window, so the physical exhibition was cancelled and became an online experience instead.
