About this work
Description
"A real dream, which I drew/wrote when I woke up, with further notes underneath. Then I showed it to someone while walking in the rain, and it got smudged, which I found very upsetting, but now I quite like the smudges. Thankfully I photographed it before it got smudged. I knew it was a very important drawing for my CPTSD recovery."--Provided by the artist.
A drawing of a person with blue eyes, with text reading "I dreamed last night my eyes were blue. Meaning: I am no longer a member of my family".

Our Emotions Are Real is a travelling visitor-participation installation focused on neurodiverse creative engagement and innovation. Fourteen large-scale digital prints from wild, expressive neurodivergent paintings, drawings and writings – with art materials, noise reduction and spaces for visitors to reflect, draw, dream, protest, tell their stories – and comment on and be part of the show. This piece is an original of one of the prints used in the installation.--Adapted from artist's documentation.
