Selected video and photographic works dealing with themes mainly related to mental health issues and autobiographical elements.

Life changing sickness is a commonality that connects many artists' otherwise disparate practices across decades, genres and lifetimes*. ‘What is the relationship between illness and making? ‘Good health’ has obvious merit – but what about the value of ‘ill health’?’Society draws a line between the healthy and the sick; mind and body; good and bad. Artists often occupy the fault line between these definitions and while illness, a common theme in art and literature, can be seen as a symbol of alienation, it can also be the key to ‘desertion’ into a creative space. To reveal themes and modes that can be broadly described as: abstraction, repetition and pattern making; nature and healing; lying down while the world stands up; the body – whole and in parts; As I have had a personal career in the field of illness and disability alongside my artistic.career, I began to look at my art and the disciplines I work in with different eyes. To date, there isn't a single piece of my artwork that directly addresses or focuses on my personal disabilities and illnesses. For most of my life, I tried to hide my health issues, but it was only in the last two years that I became more open about my so-called "deficits." I suddenly realized that many of my works metaphorically and covertly reflect my current health issues.
