2001 – 2002

Feeling lost and confused, anxious and depressed. Slowly realising that art makes me feel better. Volunteering at a gallery, working at an art supply shop, renting own studio – not having any faith that a tafe art class would ever accept me as a student.

1998 – 2000

Struggling through university, getting worse and worse at handing things in on time and I really wish I’d known I was neurodiverse at this time in my life. Quit uni, worked for a bit, got roped back into uni by family, finished bachelor of arts – scraping through by fingernails and suppressing an internal scream into an infinite void of meaninglessness.

1997

On exchange in Texas, USA
