- ... that painter Emily Powell used her synaesthesia to portray British prime minister Keir Starmer as a potted plant? Source: ITV: Emily Powell, 34, has synaesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon which causes her to see the world through the lens of colour. Ms Powell, who lives in Brixham and has a studio in Dartmoor, said when she meets people, she often thinks of ways to showcase who they are through colour. She said: “Building a colour profile in my mind is how I make sense of people, as I get to know them more shades and colours are added.” In her series called “the Greenhouse of Commons” she has reimagined political commentators and politicians including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, former premier Lady Thatcher and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner as floral displays, with different colours used to typify the qualities she feels they convey. Ms Powell said she depicted the Prime Minister as a plant in a “sensible pot” to represent his practical nature.
