Pareidolia and the Subconscious
Stephen Coutts
Stephen Coutts, Dream House Rosewood (2019), Rose Gum, Wire 41.5 x 39 x 9 cm
Stephen Coutts’ exhibition explores the link between ‘pareidolia,’ a phenomenon where the mind responds to a stimulus by seeing familiar forms where none exist, and the subconscious. The resultant works include drawings, prints and sculptures which invite subjective responses and degrees of perceived meaning.
