It seeks to depict a somewhat stagnant life, which gradually becomes defined by objects and surroundings, including those associated with institutionalization and illness. Primarily using detailed pencil drawings on a small scale, my work hopes to indicate a deep care for the subject, whilst also suggesting a life that is at a standstill in which one has excessive time to absorb all detail. By documenting the individual in their everyday setting I aim to illustrate the devastating effects this illness has on many aspects of the lives of all concerned" - Artist's statement.
