City Gallery at Waterfront Park | June 29 - August 5, 2018 Becoming intimate with both autism and mental illness inspired me to create work that explores the differently wired brain and how that relates to one’s experience of the world. Neurodivisity, postpartum depression, anxiety, and dissociation are the themes in this body of work. There is immense pressure for everyone to fit into modern society in a very specific way. While making this work I was thinking of how this pressure affects mothers, those who are autistic, and those who experience issues such as anxiety or depression. Our world feels ever more unstable, which heightens insecurity and a sense of urgency to find our place. While this can be hard for everyone, it is especially challenging for a differently wired brain, and for the newly rewired brain of a mother.
