How Art Helps
Thoughts from our Artists
"I feel like Art is our companion in our journey through illness and life."
"I cannot overemphasise how important making Art is for my wellbeing,
mental and physical."
"Art is what stands between me
and the void."
"I have become reliant on my art for catharsis and redefining myself.
This is a big change from: l create because l enjoy it."
"I am constantly in a state of flux as l come to terms with what my conditions mean to my life moving forwards and letting go of the things l used to be able to do."
"We never really know where our energy boundaries lay - or what bits of us will or will not decide to work for a while.
Becoming ill with a chronic illness shifts our reality with ever moving boundaries."
"I think a word to describe me when it comes to art is Determined."
"Managing my health while knowing I need to be creative as an outlet has been a challenge.
I find art to be my biggest outlet...it helps me to focus in and lose myself
from the outside world
and from myself."
