Sleep Studies 

As a person with sleeping problems, I have explored the human form during sleep. The notion of sleep that depicts human behaviours of people in a subconscious state when we are relying on our brains to produce normal patterns during sleep cycles and how this affects the bodies movement. The depiction of human behaviour during sleep started off with a sketch that I had done of my sister while she was in a fragile moment of deep sleep. Also how certain behaviours affect someone's life and wellbeing during sleep and the waking periods of the day.

 

My curiosity for Sleep disorders came from being in a situation where I was losing control over my body while I was sleeping. Were I would et up and turn on lights, talk, cry and sit up in my bed talking to a person in my vivid dreams. The two disorders that are explored during this series are two that aren’t fully known to many people, Sleep apoenia and REM sleep behaviour disorder. I will be adding to this series. Usually, these disorders affect someone’s life and wellbeing during sleep and the waking periods of the day.  

 

Sleeping Sketches 

I had started to depict simple sketches of friends and family members during sleep and there experiences with sleep disorders. These sketches helped me progress, by distorting parts of the body to convey an emotion that is attached to the large-scale figures.
