July 2026

I have always preferred to talk about ideas by drawing and mapping connections as I realise I used to struggle with the organisation / structure of texts. It is only within the past year ( 25 - 26) that I have given myself permission to communicate with colour and shape…as ( you may not be surprised to know)..as I learn visually.

I am currently developing artworks, from work and via a play method…that are highly personal…work that diagrams and documents the work I do and which is probably a visual evidence of the amount of work and organisation we artists have to do.

Also and more importantly for me I think its important to share what may seem like chaotic thoughts on a page with others as we for sure do not all think in a linear way, and that there are models of alternative and equally / more precise methods of thinking, learning, sharing and documenting knowledge. It is a stand up for all the people who may have struggled with an educational system of expressing what we know and the ideas we may have in an essay format. We can have 2 - or more- ideas at a time…then how to document and perhaps remember these…the texts we read and then try to tie together with the thought that triggered the read in the first place…….the knowing we have great ideas…and may be encourgaed by otehrs / leactures / teachers …to then present these ina linear format of lofgic and clarity…to then be told it isn’t any good. These maps will be made with love to all of us and to those who arent neuro-diverse.
