I have produced an artist book to accompany the Mental Health Perspectives project. In it, I have written about the story of how the work evolved from participant research to creation of work which was inspired by this. It includes photography work by Laura Ruxton who collaborated with me on the project as well as featuring a few extracts from the original questionnaires. There is also explanations of ‘No One Loves Me’ and 'A Tangled Mind’. It finishes with an up to date bio. I had this printed through blurb books and I am really happy with the results as a way to explain and accompany my practice to this point documenting and reflecting on the journey through the Ma. I am hoping to have a copy available at the Ma show for people to read through. An important extract: “I would like to dedicate this book to all the participants who took part in the mental health questionnaire. I have worked with an honest open group of people who have helped to build a bigger picture of what mental illness looks like. Without you, this work would not exist”. -- source link
