I came into homeopathy via a background in contemporary art. I studied sculpture at Chelsea and throughout the 90s made one-to-one performances and installations in alternative spaces. In my work as a practicing artist I have always been interested in the way matter, the material world, corresponds with our inner world and I worked with objects, unconventional materials, still and moving images and text to draw on childhood and past memories in order to explore intimacy-what it means to ‘love’; what it means to ‘care’.
In 2015 I undertook a second M.A in Inclusive Arts Practice, graduating with distinction, where I developed my interest in working one-to-one with people, however ‘marginalised’, to explore a form of collaborative art-making that grows directly out of a sharing of our stories in order to create something together. There is an understanding that it is not necessary to consider oneself an artist in order for us to play together ‘on-our-own-terms’ and end up with something that is, ultimately, ‘art’.
I have been interested in homeopathic remedies since the mid 90s, but it took awhile – in fact years of raising and home-educating my two daughters as a single parent, before I could look beyond my immediate family commitments again – to reignite what, for me, is encompassed in my attraction to homeopathy: an interest in people from all walks of life and a belief in their innate ability, given a safe space and time, to heal-from distress, from conflict – through awareness of the issue and connection to a carefully chosen remedy that resonates.
