100 day projects
Most of my 100 days projects have explored my experiences with chronic illness. In these projects I’ve used collage, drawing, self portraiture, mixed media maps and short form poetry, to explore aspects of my lived experience with chronic illness.
maps
My 100 days Scotland project 2023 used maps to explore good memories of moving freely through the world in my pre-illness life. The project acted as a way of trying to process the changes in my life due to illness, and come to some acceptance of my new, ill, life.
On this old map of Edinburgh is stitched every route I took in 2023: walking (green); bus trips (blue); car trips (not always me driving) (yellow), illustrating how small my world has become because of illness.
