In 2021 my partner Steph was diagnosed with Bipolar and ADHD disorder & late last year she was hospitalised for 6 weeks. Being a partner of someone with a mental illness can be challenging and isolating with feelings of helplessness. As a means of overcoming and understanding these challenges, and the challenges that my partner faces, I began a series of artworks to shed awareness on mental illness. The following collagraph is one from the series and is titled ‘Sorry I’m Manic’.
Steph’s is in a great place now surrounded with lots of love ❤️
