300 Paintings 2022-2024

A live examination of 300 paintings created during a 5 month long manic Bipolar episode.

​

In a unique format this work examines mental health & its treatment through a Bipolar lens. A ‘2-tier approach’ mixes storytelling techniques with spoken word & comedic interrogation of early visual art practice paired with a curated exhibition of work. Together, these represent a deep & accessible exploration of the artistic process, mental health & its ties to creativity. 

 

By presenting a candid narrative of living with Bipolar disorder I hope to offer an empathetic beacon for others navigating mental-health challenges. I aim to provide an accurate & responsible representation of Bipolar manic and depressive states, demystifying & destigmatising these experiences. Additionally, this work explores the benefits & possibilities of addressing mental health concerns with openness & compassion.
