ARTIST STATEMENT
“How We Heal is a multidisciplinary, autoethnographic exploration of growing up and how to heal and honour our inner child. It is about facing life’s obstacles and milestones while grappling with the nuances of queer identity. Exploring themes of childhood, friendship, nostalgia and utopia shows that even the smallest moments in time can be the most impactful. This project captures those moments, places and people that played a vital part in my journey through; painting, illustration, photography, film, audio, poetry, editorial design, typographic design and branding.
By allowing ourselves to nurture the feelings, interests and desires of our inner child we can help ourselves navigate adulthood, discover new parts of ourselves and live more peaceful and balanced lives. The goal was to create something that is earnest, reflective and joyous at its core. To reflect on the things that were possible and honour the things left to our imaginations.”
