My practice centres around using auto-experience as story, using things that happen to me as ways of finding wider connection with others; looking for the sameness that transcends boundaries. Tackling subject matter ranging from dementia, the ancients, to mental health, I seek to explore those shared experiential happenings that need no explanation or translation as they are the threads that connect us together at a human level. In a world where we seem to be increasingly withdrawing into the self, the 'me', I ask if by finding shared experiential wisdoms, however small, we can bring both individuals and populations together to engage with other-centred ways of belonging, understanding and thinking.
With creative methodologies in a state of flux, having been thrown the mental health curve ball, I continue to turn to my experience to guide me and continue on.
