Lady Michaelle St.Vincent

LadyM is an olfactory artist; her work involves art beyond the visual. Through manipulation of sensory input, using odour as a trigger to memory, she stimulates the individual’s sensorium; drawing on the audiences’ faculties of mind, their experiential interpretation of the artwork through all aspects of perception, cognition and comprehension. LadyM’s latest installation is set within the brain, literally and psychologically. Through a montage of smell and sound recordings (based on sexual responses), she creates pictures in the viewer’s own mind, drawn from their own unique olfactory and audio memory banks. By removing the visual from her work she relies heavily on its’ psychological impact. By creating a new language through audio and olfactory installations; showing imagery via painting with people’s psyches; she enables the viewer to engage with art in a new way.
