I can find it hard to properly express myself by speaking. Sometimes I cannot make sounds. Sometimes no sounds exist which capture what I am trying to say. I like to create things which look like how I would like to sound. Mostly line drawing, but also watercolours, collage, and felting. (Click to see full size images.)

Art

Drawing of a human figure in five stages. The person on the furthest right is made of tiny overlapping squares. Each person from right to left becomes more empty of squares, until the last figure is just a very vague human shape, given its shape by all the tiny squares now surrounding it.

Drifting

How it feels to dissociate.

A complex black and white drawing of many elements, including smashed glass, pins, tentacles, a bottle filled with air bubbles, cubes of different heights, and sand timers wrapped in elastic bands.

Untitled

The different sensations of depression and anxiety.

Black pen drawing of 40 different shaped jars with something inside each, including: a hand, scratch marks, a microphone, a bus bell, a heart monitor, empty jar, dark jar, a telescope, a spotlight, a popped balloon, a stormy sea, sand, a head, an open book, pages, an eyeball, syringes, water, a arm being grabbed, pills, an empty box, a badge, an IV bag, dentures, a small cube, laughter, a bear trap, a bomb.

Keep a Lid on Your Fears

Jars of fears.

A black and white drawing of a person from the waist up, with their arms stretched out. They are full of holes. Some holes are just blank spaces and some are bursting with masses of curly lines which fly out in all directions.

Disconnected

How it feels to experience dissociated emotions.

A circular mass made up of multiple small wriggling shapes hangs above a pile of the same wriggling shapes. Little shapes drop down.

Untitled

The connection between the brain and the body.

A black and white pen drawing of the inside of an abandoned building. The walls are covered in graffiti. Plaster is falling off the walls into piles on the floor. Many floorboards are missing. Windows and doors are smashed. A broken chair is on the ground.

Within

The world inside me.
