In a single life, we accumulate a mountain of experiences, each leaving their own distinct marks, colours, shapes, symbols and characters. This exhibition of deeply personal works traces the emotional terrain of that accumulation. Translating to “attempts at processing a life” or “some lives,” the title acknowledges the many lives we lead, each marked by time, place, people, emotional states and internal transformations.

 

Created over the past three years, the exhibition documents fragments from my life and my attempts - as the title unapologetically shares - at processing them in all their beauty, pain and mundanity. Through drawings, carborundum collagraphs, lithographs and monoprints, I use art as a cathartic and reflective practice to externalise emotions, access unconscious thoughts, look from new perspectives and, ultimately, to understand and appreciate what on earth has been going on in my life(s). Vulnerable and intimate, I invite viewers to witness my experiences and contemplate their own with similar care and intention.
