Confessions of an Untamed Mind Garden (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The first of several series exploring my experience with ADHD, "Confessions of an Untamed Mind Garden" conveys the eThe first of several series exploring my experience with ADHD, Confessions of an Untamed Mind Garden conveys the early stages of self-discovery after my initial diagnosis. Much like the function of memory, each piece layers stitched images gathered from different places, mixing movement and stillness. Atop these assembled gardens are digitally painted marks—gestures reflecting the internal rhythm of my mind. Some pieces were made with clarity and intention, others in restlessness and paralysis, informed by my new experience with medication and the fact that I created my pieces both on my stimulants and during hiatuses. The images are both literal gardens and mind gardens—an entry into my thoughts and a visual celebration of the haphazard yet perfect imperfection of an unrestrained mind.
