As many of you know, I have recently started the Artefacts of Life Project. The aim of this project is to try and translate moments and feelings of mental illness into something visual. The result will be a visual anthology, of life with a mental illness.

I have been honoured by receiving tweets sharing bravely their experiences with mental illness – incredibly humbling and inspiring. Today, I completed my first piece, inspired by the following tweet from a personal friend (with a locked account): 

[locked] #ArtefactsofLife Shared a moment of despair w/ a group of 5 friends; uncontrollable gulps between tears & all they did was hold me.
With this in mind, I spent time working out a way to do justice to this experience.

I hope you like the final piece and perhaps you too would like to get involved!
