Immersed in a wave of nostalgia, I reflect on the era before dedicating over two decades to a social group centered around self-regulation through alcohol. There's an oddly beautiful quality in taking a hiatus from incessantly aiding others and redirecting my focus inward towards both myself and my child. In the past, I grappled with being an autistic individual who, among other methods, turned to alcohol for self-regulation—a means to understand a body and brilliant mind that seemed elusive. It's essential to clarify: I wasn't 'diseased.' The process of shedding the preconceived notions imposed by a social group and reclaiming authority over my identity is, in itself, a beautiful journey. Like my child, I'm actively listening to and respecting the workings of my mind. Far from being defective, it's simply different, and I embrace it with love. The experience of coming home within, unburdened and free, is undeniably lovely.

Most of these artworks were created several years ago, creatively processing the early days of learning later in life; I was Autistic (among other brain differences), and the challenges I faced when I made adjustments in my relationships based on my neurobiological differences and diverse needs. The digital artworks were created for a podcast my friend and I had together, where we unpacked our experiences as neurodivergent humans. My approach involves asking probing questions specifically created to uncover complex traumas. I developed a method of self-inquiry and introspection designed to bring awareness to one's inner world. By delving into my subconscious and exploring the reasons behind my choices, beliefs, and emotional responses, I essentially acknowledge and understand myself at a deeper level. This self-awareness is crucial in personal growth, healing, and making positive changes. I work with paint, pencil, ink, spray paint, recycled substrate, fabric, clay, and vintage materials to assist the self-understanding, acknowledging and positive change process. My work involves asking, waiting, watching, quiet listening, inner knowing, storytelling, memories and subconscious answers.
