Fractures
A series of works inspired by reflecting on the journey of life, when unexpected disruptions occur. I use my art practice to document these interruptions as a way of processing changes in an attempt to understand life better. The works include references to being a family carer, terminal illness, dementia, hearing loss, friendship highs and lows and changes in family circumstances.
