25.01.2022 2020 was hard for alot of us and like a lot of you my mental health took a massive hit. I was depressed, anxious and falling into feelings of apathy and imposter syndrome. My self confidence was shattered and I couldn't figure out how to get out of the hole I found myself in. Luckily I have an amazing family and dr who saw me struggling and who helped me find a way out. After decades of mental health discussion I found myself in a place I didn't understand ehich is why, in O...ctober last year I saw a psychiatrist for the first time. It was scary as hell because ya know, lobotomies, but I coached myself through the anxiety and I am glad I did because I found out that I have ADHD. Most people I speak to don't know much about this condition and associate it with naughty little boys who disrupt class rooms. This is one of the reasons ADHD in women is one of the most under diagnosed conditions in women and why I was reluctant to speak about it too soon. ADHD has a stigma but once understood and supported it is actually a super power. When I was diagnosed I went through cycles of joy and depression. Excitment at the potential for answers to long unanswered questions and change, but depression and grief for young Elle who has spent 33 years feeling like she was missing something. Joy for the future and fear for the stigma and the years of inevitable questions I will face from those who don't understand. Regardless of this, I don't want to hold onto this secret. I want to own this part of me. I want to talk about it and be one more person who is breaking the silence and helping this condition be less scary. Because ADHD effects almost every part of my life, not the least my artwork and until I acknowledge that I can't step out of the darkness. See more
22.01.2022 2020 for me was the catalyst for me in realising what I really want from my work and also forced me into a self growth journey I wasn't ready for. Artwork made throughout 2020 is finally going to be released ehich is so exciting because I'm seeing it all together for the first time and thats helped to reconfirm my goals and ideas.
10.01.2022 If plants looked more like me, with flesh the colour of mine, would I find it easier to care for it? Would we see ourselves as part of the natural world and not the owners of it.
08.01.2022 We have been taught, for years that humans are at the top of the food chain. This makes us feel safe and smart and like we are in charge of all the lesser organisms on the earth. But are we at the top of a linear chain? Although uncomfortable to think about, none of us will live forever. Have you ever thought about what happens to our bodies, our souls, and the footprint we leave behind when we pass on? If we were to acknowledge that we are not at the top of anything and that we are a functioning link in the cycle we might see our place in the world a little differently. We might see our impact on the world a little clearer. It might be easier to see how we are connected to the very fabric of everything we see in one way or the other and that we are not separate or more important, we are a part of it all.
