Graphite on paper

Sensory Processing Disorder is an important topic for me, especially after my Autism diagnosis. It was important for me to show people that this disorder exists and how it can affect people. I wished to be transparent and informative, using graphite because it’s a simple medium that can create a lot of meaning; also, the disorder gives me aversions to colours. Hopefully the audience can take something away from my body of work and perhaps gain an understanding of those affected by this disorder.

The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
