Raen Barnsley is a multimedia artist that currently lives and works between London and Warwickshire. Her practice is concerned with digital aesthetics and how the possibilities within imaging software can be used to portray her experiences with dyslexia. Continuously creating new shapes and motifs, she layers information into what becomes collective floating forms that create both real and illusionary depth.
The shapes she creates have a linguistic quality but do not fully resemble a recognisable language. The chaotic and unpredictable compositions in her work do not have one area of focus, which Barnsley sees as an intuitive choice that depicts her dyslexic tendency to approach daily tasks in no order of priority. The highly saturated and unnatural colours that are easily achievable with imaging software act as a connection to the digital sketches that she begins with. Each colour and texture as can be viewed a different stream of information, where each element is having a conversation with those that surround it.
