Shame by Jack Drawing

No less powerful for its gentleness, this intriguing image by Jack, is unabashed in its imagery. The self reflection and message is ,as ever, un flinching and in contrast to the hues of charcoal and pastel delicately layered in with no less energy than expected. Speaking about this work Jack said ‘there are few of us who are not familiar with shame though sadly those many who have been abused in any way are probably more familiar than most. The acute nature of it when it is recognised personally and acknowledged. Doing a small series replacing animals for people, to change the audiences perception of the emotive experience, was something I thought would make the emotions more accessible. In fact that accessibility ,in some cases, made them far more overwhelming when understood.’ Jack is one of several of our ‘inner family’, beckynewellart. Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, as a result of extreme childhood trauma, several personalities live within one body each finding talents of their own. Jack, Fi, Elby and sometimes Tom are creative. Jack’s work is particularly notable for his in-depth self reflection, unflinching honesty and quality of fine art.
