About The Artwork

Embarking on a humorous and critical analysis, let's unravel the intricacies of relationships on the autism spectrum, using the lens of a personal friendship that spans 15 years. In the early days, our attempts at connection were akin to deciphering an alien language. Miscommunications were rife, and social nuances might as well have been written in invisible ink. One challenging moment after another seemed to create a trail of mishaps that, in hindsight, could rival a sitcom script. In the midst of these trials, misunderstandings flourished. Our attempts at connection resembled a game of emotional Twister, where the colorful circles were replaced with unwritten social rules. We stumbled through conversational minefields, occasionally triggering unintended eruptions. Sarcasm, subtlety, and reading between the lines became our elusive nemesis. Yet, through the chaos, a peculiar camaraderie formed. Shared quirks and the ability to laugh at our own social mishaps became the adhesive holding our friendship together. It was the acknowledgment that our social struggles were, in a way, the sitcom plot twists that fueled our shared narrative. Fast forward 15 years, and the journey of our friendship has evolved. The missteps that once seemed insurmountable have become cherished anecdotes. We've navigated the terrain of social cues, learned to decode the unspoken, and discovered the beauty of embracing our unique neurodivergent selves. The road may have been bumpy, and our friendship may have faced its fair share of challenges, but the journey has been sprinkled with laughter, growth, and a deep understanding that transcends the realm of neurotypical expectations. In the tapestry of our shared history, the threads of humour and acceptance have woven a resilient bond.

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.
