- Samenvatting:
- The 'Paper Cuts' artwork explores the impact of language on mental health. Created through a combination of collage and drawing techniques, they bring attention to the passive/aggressive phrases and words that are often used to bully and blame individuals. The works feature a clash of cartoon-like imagery and hand-drawn text, highlighting phrases such as “being resilient” and “gentle reminder” that can be used in a harmful manner. Similarly, as technology rapidly evolves, so too does the absurdity of the language we use to describe it. This language is parodied to highlight how it can make us as humans feel anxious, out-of-date, or redundant. The series encourages open conversations about mental health and challenges the notion that individuals can be ‘fixed’, which distracts us from attempting to create a more equal and supportive society. It’s a call to action to rethink the way we communicate and to understand the power of words. (backcover) [...], This series was commissioned by the CREATIVE PEOPLE & PLACES HOUNSLOW VISIUAL ARTS PROGRAMME a consortium led by Watermans. The exhibition HOW ARE YOU (REALLY)? will tour libraries in Hounslow during 2023-2025., This is number: 57 of 100
