"In collaboration with American artist and filmmaker Lucy Cordes Engelman, whom he is married to, Mullen paints as a conduit for her sensorial experience between color and time. Each color they use represents a number, and when these numbers are used to illustrate time the painting appears as a layered image, a representation of time. Mullen’s relationship with this universe began just after he approached Lucy, for whom numbers and letters connect to colors in a different way. She currently collaborates in the production of the aforementioned series, assisting him on the definition of chromatic matches, through brush strokes in the shape of lines in his paintings. The couple’s creative process begins by choosing specific dates. Each date turns into a mathematical fraction which results in specific color in Lucy’s brain. Number two, for instance, is a shade of yellow. “She unveils the codes of time, discovering each number’s colors through her very own eyes. Time and color are the two necessary varying factors she needs to unravel the equation”, explains the artist." - http://mariancramer.com/artist/daniel-mullen/

 'Mullen visualizes how she perceives time, numbers, and letters. Mullen explains in an artist statement, “In Lucy's case, when she sees or thinks about time and numbers […] she experiences a different color sequence in her mind's eye.” He continues, “Essentially, she has an ever changing complex and luminous filter to view the abstract concepts of our world.”' - https://mymodernmet.com/synesthesia-project/

My work explores the relationship between the co-operation of the senses and human consciousness; how humans interact with the world and in particular recording my interaction with the world through video, sound, sculpture, and installation and then creating an unusual way of viewing that world. When we interact with our environment, we use our senses to navigate not only our outside world but also our inside world. Our perceptions of our outside world can be altered by what is occurring in our inside world; our emotions, learnt behaviors, memories and everything that makes us human. As an artist I explore the relationship between the body, technology and nature by challenging the senses and perception of the viewer. By exploring the way humans interact with the world around them, I create multi-sensory installations using video and sound, how the video can be used as a medium and how the audience themselves become the medium and process for my discovery.
