Navigating the terrain of autism comes with an unexpected challenge – a predisposition to abuse. Much of my life has been spent disregarding the subtle warnings from my gut about others. I consistently prioritized seeing the best in people over heeding that intuitive voice signalling when something wasn't right or beneficial for me. Unfortunately, speaking up about these feelings often led to gaslighting, a tactic to dismiss my concerns and distort my perception. Having once been adept at concealing motives myself, I understand the reluctance of others to be forthright about their intentions. However, this approach has exacted a profound toll on my well-being and livelihood. The cost of trusting others blindly, without honouring my own instincts, has been steep. In a transformative shift, I've chosen to listen to, respect, and make decisions based on my gut feelings rather than relying solely on rational thought. This shift is a protective measure, a shield against those who might exploit my vulnerabilities, particularly my tendency to trust others implicitly. I've come to realise that my gut instinct is a superpower, an innate ability that others may find unsettling. It's a power they didn't want me to recognise, but now that I do, I embrace it wholeheartedly. My intuition is not only my guide but also my protector, and I am unapologetically harnessing its strength to navigate life with a newfound sense of self-assurance and authenticity.

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.
