From Mental illness to latex

So on my little journey to looking at depression, how I deal with it and how others see it.... I have been playing with various images and mediums!

My practice started with something said to me, "when in the bath, try and keep the water perfectly still, like a mirror if glass!" By doing so you practice keeping your mind calm and your body completely relaxed! 

Mind mirrors water... Water becomes a mirror... Mind equals calm! 

I started taking hoots videos of water in the bath to try and capture this excerise 

I love the photos but they didn't portray the message I wanted to give. They almost looked like landscapes from an alien planet rather than a representation of a challenged mind!

I'm back!!!

Two weeks in and I'm happy to say the love for my degree is still there. The only thing that saddens me is that I have not been in touch over the summer! 

I have realised that this is where my heart is... I'm still not sure how or where this path is leading me in terms of a career but I know that my practice is fast becoming an integral part of my life.

It is almost like a cognitive approach to dealing with aspects of my life and health that I have never dealt with properly before. This approach is now seemingly lead my work, through discovery of oneself I am discovering me, my visual language and the context in which I work
