Does this look like an abstract eyeball reflecting mayhem? This is how I choose to represent chaos. After all, WE have to face the tumult.

A large percentage of the world’s honeybees have been MIA lately. Nobody knows for sure what the causes are, and we are just beginning to grasp what the effects in long term may be, but I am absolutely certain of one thing – this can’t be good news for Winnie The Pooh! This was my first project for my Digital Illustration class with David Hylton. Pen & Ink drawing, scanned into Photoshop, then colored in using different textures from photographs. Turned out to be a pretty big hit among my peers :)

Oil painting. I must add something to this weird picture. I have bipolar disorder and today I went to the doctors and once again they want to try me on lithium…..which by the way I won’t take ever! But this painting is my attempt to describe what it feels like to be inside the box. There is no real answer for bipolar, its just makes you seem stranger the rest of the world. Sometimes I feel like I am a stranger within myself. Like I don’t know who I am anymore, when I act out of character. I want to retreat inside the box, try to reflect on my actions. But it doesn’t help. I feel like a stranger trapped inside a box. This is where this came from. Somewhere inside of me. Not the best attempts at a painting and not received too well at school but still when I look at it I sense the restraints of having this invisible disorder that no-one can truly understand, not even the person who has it.

Bipolar disorder used to be called ‘manic depression’. As the older name suggests, someone with bipolar disorder will have severe mood swings. These usually last several weeks or months and are far beyond what most of us experience. / About 1 in every 100 adults has bipolar disorder at some point in their life. It usually starts during or after the teenage years. It is unusual for it to start after the age of 40. Men and women are affected equally. You can find out more at www.rcpsych.ac.uk

The honeybee teaches about community and harmony. One lesson we can take from this is that the well-being of any community is dependent on the health and contribution of each of its members. One member cannot take on all the responsibilities, nor can one sit back and reap all the benefits without harming the community in a negative way. Another lesson is that sometimes one can work too hard, ignoring the others in the community who can contribute, risking their health from stress and depleted health. Think of the classic workaholic. Being part of a community means knowing you cannot do it all, and asking for help when it is needed. It also means to step up and help out those who need it. We can also learn from the honeybee about conserving and preparing for the future. By balancing working roles, the hive (the community) can run efficiently and create a harmonious living environment. To the Ancient Egyptians, honeybees were believed to be the tears of the sun god Ra and honey was believed to be a symbol of resurrection and protected against evil spirits. In Ancient Greece the honeybee was thought to be messengers for the gods. The Priestesses of the Oracle in Delphi were sought to answer questions about the future and past. The Priestesses sat on three-legged stools near a spot where sweet-smelling fumes rose up through an omphalos stone, which was hollow and shaped similar to a bee hive. The exterior of the omphalos stone was carved with the images of honeybees. The Honeybee was sacred to the Celtic goddess Brigid, who kept an orchard in the Otherworld, which was visited by bees.

Another self-portrait for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image”. I was bulimic with anorexic tendencies for a few years. / In a way, eating was a painful and difficult thing to do, and I always regretted eating. I felt as if anything I consumed would do harm and damage to my body. / Altered the title to Anorexia Bulimia, because it applies to both, not just anorexia. I was mostly bulimic anyway, and felt this way all the time.

Another self-portrait for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image”. I think the idea is pretty obvious…I used to have an eating disorder, I don’t any more, but the mentality that I need to stay thin and fit still remains and this is my interpretation of that. To post this alone takes me a lot of courage because I am still very, very uncomfortable with my body.

Another piece for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image” (yes you will be seeing more!). Perhaps this is self explanatory…perhaps not… / Ideally, there would be another image before this one leading to my control over my eating disorder, however I think the image works by itself as control over eating and food. This shot took way too long to do… / I don’t know how many times I dropped that cookie or my camera remote and had to unbind myself just so I could pick it up…
-
Another piece for my photography final, “Fragmented Self-Image”. I can’t help but constantly compare myself to others whom I think are more attractive or better than I am. / I’m bound and powerless to the need to compare myself no matter what I do. / I’ve been like this even before my eating disorder, and I have no doubt that this was a major influence in what caused me to have an eating disorder.

MUA/HAIR – Kelsey Johnson / MODEL – Kat Krawczuk / PHOTOGRAPHER – Lisabella Preece The title of this piece is a line from the song Straw Dog by Something Corporate. It’s at the end of the 2nd verse…just before the chorus. Love This Song.

Acryllic + Ink on Canvas 50×60cms Painted specifically for the Mirrors Exhibition ‘09 / “Beauty is not just an image, it’s a feeling” “Mirrors” is a Charity Art Exhibition Benefitting the Butterfly Foundation / Raising much needed funds to support Eating Disorder patients, their families & loved ones, whilst also raising awareness in the wider community. The event also seeks to promote positive Body Image through art… / “Expressing, transforming and clarifying the shades of limelight that frame our body image.” / Currently on at the Mori Gallery in Sydney until October 24, for more event details see here / And read about other bubbers involved here Whilst What If I’m A Mermaid… is an obvious reference to the subject of the painting, it’s also a line from one of my favourite songs by Tori Amos, which is as open to interpretation & woven with different meanings & messages as this painting perhaps is… there are threads in both to which i feel we can all on some level relate. When it came to elaborating on what those messages were or are for the sake of the exhibtion… Well… I wrote one artists statement… followed by another… and then another… and another. Somewhere around 10 i decided to stop… It was not that i was unhappy with a single one of them, quite the opposite, each seemed to inspire another thought, i’d tilt my head & see yet another perspective, many of which weren’t even conscious in my mind whilst painting… / What it made me realise was that more than anything this painting was not so much about me expressing or conveying my thoughts, nor was there a singular message that i want or wanted people to be taken from it… purely & simply it was aimed at inspiring thought in a different circle… & so rather than cloud that thought with words, i decided to let you ponder… “What If I’m A Mermaid…” You can see my painting from last years exhibtion here / As well as the prints i donated of my “Girls of La Mar” series… / Liquid Diamonds / Caught A Lite Breeze / Girl & The Sea More on Mirror’s soon

The Death of Her Pas De Deux
by Kristin ReynoldsI never should have handed you / my pretty pink ballet slippers. They had hung off the edge of my bed / for as long as I can remember, / ...
having a relationship with someone with mental illness can be very taxing. This is just a vent on being the one trying to interact with the one suffering from depression and/or bi-polar disorder. / It is so hard trying to balance the want to be with someone who is not there much of them time…wanting to love them, wanting them there...and the plain, hard fact that they cannot be alot of the time due to their illness – medication or not.
