The Neon Series documents the struggle for self-care and mental health in a domestic setting where time is largely devoted to caring for others. it depicts a place of retreat; from the world, from the demands of life, from oneself perhaps.

​

An auto-biolgraphical project that began in 2019, the artist repeatedly recorded images of herself over several years, lit only by a large wall-mounted mirror. Each time, the mirror light was changed to whatever colour reflected her present mood and experience of the world. The otherworld hues shown are all true to life.

​

The project explores identity, noting the disconnect between public and private perceptions of women and of mothers. The act of making these images itself serving as a restorative step, hoping to reclaim space and provoke reflection.

The work is depicted above as a series of 30 blocks.
