The Conversation Series

This series was created digitally whilst on a long phone call with my parents who live overseas. My mum was the one to coin it 'The Conversation Series' which I loved the sound of.

Due to my neurodivergence, I find it easier to concentrate on what people are saying when I am able to move my body in some way. Drawing is just one of my stims* but any act of physical movement such as wiggling side to side, rubbing my hands together, twirling my hair etc. makes it easier for me to process what others are saying.

Drawing in this way puts me into a calm, flow state, in which I paint abstract images that come straight from my subconscious.

*Stims are self stimulating behaviours, for Autistic people, those with ADHD etc. in which repetitive movement helps to regulate sensory inputs, emotions or cope with stress.
