About The Artwork
Unlike neurotypicals who seemingly intuitively grasp the subtleties of others—reading body language, picking up on innuendos, and effortlessly navigating the unspoken rules of socialising—I find myself doing a delicate dance of interpretation. The social landscape, with its multitude of unspoken rules, is a labyrinth where determining the right move at the right time feels like deciphering an intricate code. This dance, though at times wonderful, is undeniably exhausting. It's not a mere interaction; it's work—a meticulous effort to connect and understand. The real challenge lies not just in the moment but in the aftermath, as I retreat to my solitude to process the intricate layers of the interaction. Understanding what it was all about, and ensuring I got it right, becomes a reflective journey that can span years. The camouflage dance is a vivid portrayal of the hidden intricacies that define my social interactions, a testament to the effort invested in navigating a world where the rules are not always explicit but are nevertheless expected to be known and followed.

Australia
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.
