About The Artwork
The narrative unfolds with a stark reality: autistic individuals are three times more susceptible to abuse than their neurotypical counterparts. Painfully true in my case. Historically, I've overlooked the weight of my intuition, prioritising logic and politeness over heeding my own instincts. I've been generous with the benefit of the doubt but at a considerable cost. This misplaced trust has left me exposed to abuse repeatedly, with repercussions extending beyond myself to impact the well-being of my child. The toll on us has been substantial. In a pivotal shift to safeguard us, I've learned to prioritise my gut feelings about humans, places, spaces and situations. Even if my intuition occasionally misfires, the risk is worthwhile compared to the potential harm incurred by ignoring it. Choosing to trust my instincts first has transformed our lives. Our existence is now marked by peace and fulfilment, liberated from the drama and chaos others might bring. It's a remarkably beautiful journey, where laughter and joy find ample room to flourish.

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.
