I wanted to make something that hopefully collectors can connect to visually. Mental illness has been a significant part of my life. Both as a sufferer and supporter. It feels important to me to use a way to express something I feel strongly about through art. This has been a form of art therapy for me, and hopefully for a buyer who can relate. Or anyone who just feels these pieces are interesting.
A recent comment on one of my sculptures was:
“I can relate to this, I feel like if you looked inside my brain that’s exactly what’s inside”

Full description
This is another piece in my collection of a series of sculptures focusing on the visual manifestation of mental health symptoms. My aim is create works that people can relate to and connect with emotionally. Mental illness is something I have a close personal connection to, and my goal is to communicate this through my work.
Mental illness is not pretty, it is ugly. It is dark, overwhelming and consuming. The abstract nature of these figures reflects the fact that when you are in it, you don’t feel like yourself. You don’t feel human. You don’t recognise yourself. You need an open mind and bravery to claim and display one of these pieces. They are not for everyone. I feel the best art should provoke a strong emotion and polarise.
