Parents and children were often fascinated by Mobile and its connection to imagined beginnings inside the body.
In-between comment book became a rich source of information- comments included :
‘Mesmerising, interesting, disturbing, maternal, imaginative inspired, provocative, visceral … ‘
‘Work that made me stop in my tracks. A great narrative about what we are and how we see ourselves’.
‘Very thought-provoking and an intensely interesting voyage through the psyche and this really made me inquisitive and captivated’.
‘Interesting use of found objects to create fascinating pieces that are both thought-provoking and a little disturbing. The exhibition puts me in mind of lost civilisations and the transient nature of existence and speaks to me of time past and future’.

In conjunction with my solo exhibition an in-conversation Vimeo film featured an interview between me and Maureen Begadon Psychotherapist/Artist/ Art Therapist, filmed and by Artist/ film maker Liz Morrison. The interview showcases and analyses my making in relation to my experience and interest in psychotherapy.
