Took an axe to my life

Collected various needless things and got rid of them, a job that got ride of student debt, a husband, a concept of myself that was untrue.

Talking in Class rooms and Halls
(2017 – 2018)
Showing my work alongside talking confrences, schools, univecities and training events about how trauma informed care had changed my entire life. Often this co incided directly with an exhibition of my work in a gallery or in the space. I started to create space for other to access radical self expression within an exhibition space with Imprudent Collective.
