Curating progressive visual art exhibitions depicting experiences of mental health illness. To push the boundaries of artistic communication / expression. And to create an experimental, ambitious space where we feel safe to explore our madness.

Please share, support our organisational development.

Big news to come over the next few weeks, info about how we will be working to support and encourage artists facing barriers in the north west.

We're ambitious and pissed off. Which is a good combo right now 😌

πŸŽ„ Christmas is coming, do you want to gift somebody a unique, original drawing?

I am opening up commissions! A partner, friend, your pet?

Happy to discuss anything that is out of the ordinary (like compositions, large scale, paint etc)

Also...I’ve got some availability for mentoring & access support clients!

I support artists & organisations to think about access, disability inclusion & radical curation.

If you’re in the arts & need some guidance, I’d love to help.

Each individual page has a hand pressed then scanned image of a flower. When all the pages are fanned out, it creates a bunch of flowers, which references the project title.

A gorgeous walk yesterday with my mum, Bronze and Meg. Still tired today. But back to reality now, financial panic, working hard, meetings and some cleaning.

Tried to draw Jackson last night and he kept walking on the page so I kept drawing around his teeny feet :)

Also had a good meeting with other disabled artists who are empowering and inspiring.

It's very tough though. To keep focused on the goals we have, to trust the process.

Not sure I have enough energy to try and work out how to get out of this mess.

Maybe a nap or drawings?!

I'm so pleased that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won!

But it's been a very tough day. I am very overdrawn and getting charged. And it feels a little like I'm in quicksand and can't manoeuvre myself out of this trap.

Morning, let’s hope today is more positive. Lots to do β€” admin, mentoring, access support, and walking Bronze

Meant to go to a gallery meeting but not sure I’ve got enough petrol to make it back…the joys of low income

You are exactly right. I stood my ground because I was in the right and he lost the power in that situation. It frustrates me that he gained the upper ground once he uttered those words though, not in the situation because he drove around to get through and i didnt need to move, but mentally, he won

I wish my concerns about my body didn't mean that his words hurt so fucking much. And I wish my opinion on men like that ensured I could brush it off.

But it's really horrible.

I had to control the urge to go back and smash all the windows in his van.

I have a meeting in 5 mins so...

Just got called a fat c_nt by a man in a van because I refused to move when it was my right of way.

He said 'move woman fuck sake. You shouldn't be driving you fat c_nt'

I wish his misogynistic vile unsurprising outburst didn't affect me. But I sat crying in the carpark for 30 mins.
