NEW ARTWORK + RECENT PATIENT SESSIONS

I've been working with some fantastic new recruits to the Storytelling Project this month and I couldn't be happier with the ways in which each participant has enthusiastically taken to each creative exercise. At this stage of the project, we are continuing with previous warm up (drawing with eyes closed) and painting (abstract emotions) exercises, but the approach to the final painting task is now tailored to fit the narrative of each individual participant - I really appreciate how open patients have so far been in sharing their personal stories with me. Without giving too much away (!), the 'final' artworks we produce will be a collaborative effort between myself, the illustrator and the patients as artists and narrators, in which we will combine quotes and experimental storytelling to create multi-layered narrative pieces. Below are photos of recent sessions with patients and some of the fantastic abstract artwork that resulted:
