Title: Verklempt
Medium: Poster paint on paper
Size: 45cm x 33cm
The spontaneous creative process behind the making of this image involved pouring, mixing, dripping, spilling, and smearing the paint with a roller onto paper. It became quite chaotic as the paint covered surfaces outside of the frame of the canvas. It could be suggested that the chaotic use of materials might express the layers of trauma caused by chaotic relationships of abuse, neglect, and fragile attachments. Through the creation of this art piece, emotions and feelings were now thrusted outwards, acting as a bridge between my inner world and outer reality, which could now be experienced more consciously as the image acted like a window into my internal world. I needed to sit with this unconscious material, to wonder and consider what it may be trying to tell me. It was not clear straight away, but after reflecting on the image and sitting with these feelings, I felt an internal pull to the white and blue figure in the middle of this image, which felt like a representation of my ‘inner child’. An innocent soul, fragile and susceptible to the chaos around them. I noticed that I was feeling anger over unmet needs, over abandonment, insecurity and powerlessness and feelings of anxiety and shame. The ‘inner child’ seems to be being held/contained by the orange figure, which could be the manifestation of my maternal self or caregiver, offering protection to the inner child from the impact of external stressors.
By finding meaning in this image, I developed a stronger sense of self which created a deep exploration and dramatic shift in my psyche. The image became a container for these undigested feelings which could now be transformed into meaning. Using the creative process as a way of projecting my emotions and spinning thoughts into, I was able to manage my feelings in a more productive and healthy way; ‘the picture within the frame is the space where transference may be illustrated, revealed and enacted’ (Schaverien, 1999, p.77). Using the creative process this way, past and present, has presented different perspectives, clarity, and a wealth of insight, both personally and professionally. Having faced hardship, trauma, and adverse experiences at such an early age and having my own mental health challenges from adolescence has benefited me in a way that these experiences have made me more resilient, attentive, stronger, open-minded, and deeply empathic. From these experiences I can understand and relate with those I help so much more and on a much deeper level.

Title: Wander Wonder
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 100cm x 50cm
I created this painting thinking about my recent journey of becoming an art psychotherapist. However above all, I am an artist who is interested in exploring the magical elements of both inner and outer realms. I have recently re-discovered my artist identity and feel ignited by this somewhat new discovery. I tend to create my art through unconscious imagery and mark-making, with different styles and marks for various thoughts and feelings. I like to let my art take precedence when creating, and let my images speak for themselves. I often feel that words cannot always do justice for those powerful emotions, whereas images can speak a thousand words. I am interested in the use of colour and fantastical imagery to portray deep and symbolic thoughts, which may differ from viewer to viewer, and artist to artist, in turn enhancing the magic, hope and wonder that art can provide for anyone who may wander into the realm of creativity.
The image is a concoction of emotion with an intertwining of positive and negative connotations surrounding the blessing and curse of feeling deeply. It can be difficult and heavy to witness and experience dark emotions but equally, the beauty, joy and wonder of humanity can be truly felt and experienced on a deeper level. The contrast is in the painting with the dark of the night, the heaviness of the cloud but the stars incite wonder whilst the colourful rain promotes joy and hope. The heavy feelings are symbolised by the clouds full of rain yet the rain depicts my new found love and discovery of colour, opening my eyes to new perspectives of our interchanging world. The stars are my own personal symbol for hope, wonder and magic in which I discovered and embraced through my uniqueness of being an artist, and art psychotherapist with lived experience.
To wander is to wonder.

I have always been interested in linguistics and communication. I also do a lot of writing, but my spelling is terrible. I recently read Steven Pinker’s book ‘The Language Instinct’ and was inspired to write this poem. I wanted to play with spelling and the meaning of words to write an ambiguous and impressionistic description of unconsciousness.

Title: The Artistic Brain
Medium: Alcohol inks on paper, digital
Size: 70 x 45.7 cm
When I started my MSc in psychology I was inspired by art and science, phenomenology and epistemology, creativity, and neurobiology. I used alcohol inks on paper to create Rorschach test images. I digitally manipulated these to give the impression of fMRI brain scans. Representing the unique beauty that is neuromodulators and brain chemistry.

Title: The Adventures of Dr Wu Wei
Medium: Written and illustrated with pen & Ink, pencil, and watercolours
Size: 148.5 x 210 mm
I wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Dr Wu Wei after my first-year exams in July 2023. The book is a short story about language, creativity, consciousness, and mental health. I’d describe it somewhat as; Plato’s Republic meets Roald Dahl. This is the first piece of creative writing I have shown to an audience. Therefore, I welcome feedback.
David intends to forward a link to his book for the online gallery, if we use the front cover and statement to direct people to this.

Title: Through the prism of missing – Maman
Medium: Short Film
Size: MP4
"Through the Prism of Missing – Maman." Through the medium of a short film, Pascale explores the intimate, emotional terrain of mental health, loss, and the enduring impact of unresolved questions. The inspiration for this film lies in her personal journey. On the 9th anniversary of her mother's disappearance in her last known location in France, Pascale embarked on a cathartic cinematic exploration. Her mother, afflicted by Alzheimer's, vanished without a trace in 2013, leaving behind a haunting absence that has endured for a decade.
"Through the Prism of Missing – Maman" encapsulates the lingering wounds and unresolved pain that persist, even a decade after the disappearance. It also underscores the importance of seeking help and support for mental health challenges when faced with moral injury, particularly in the context of families grappling with the agony of a missing loved one. This healing journey reinforces the message that there is hope, but it often begins with the courage to ask for help.
"Through the Prism of Missing – Maman" is a call for empathy, understanding, and change, inviting you to step into the shoes of those caught in the ceaseless circle of longing and loss, leaving an indelible imprint on your heart and mind.

Title: Through the prism of missing— The void in us
Medium: Print of acrylic painting with quotes (the augmented reality and animated versions can be viewed on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/uiEQuahwU-Q?si=8jJ1mAszSeHnOgPF
Also available on the app Artivive
Size: A1
Pascale employs the painting medium together with quotes from relatives of missing people to bridge the tangible and the intangible, integrating augmented reality and animated versions accessible through YouTube and the Artivive app, inviting viewers to explore the emotional labyrinth of loss and uncertainty.
At the core lies a vital mission: to shine a light on a societal issue often overlooked by both experts and the general public. Collaborating with 39 relatives of missing individuals, Pascale harnessed the transformative power of art to convey their untold stories, channelling attention to their unmet needs.
The sheer magnitude of the problem becomes starkly evident when one considers that, annually, in the UK the equivalent of York's population (155,000 individuals) goes missing. This absence reverberates, touching the lives of twelve people within their immediate circles and communities, leaving an indelible financial and emotional mark.
Embedded within her artwork are quotes from the relatives of missing people, offering an intimate glimpse into their silent suffering. It seeks to relieve the burden placed on these already suffering individuals, who often find themselves compelled to articulate their pain, reliving their traumatic experience - a task fraught with the risk of disbelief and the absence of adequate support.

Title: Through the prism of missing - Keep circling around
Medium: Collage (augmented reality and animated version can be viewed

Also available on the app Artivive):
Size: A1
You are invited to embark on a journey through the profound emotional landscape of those affected by the enigma of missing loved ones.
Each piece of this collage is a patchwork of emotions interwoven with the voices of relatives of Missing People. It is a poignant window into the depths of moral injury, psychological anguish, hopelessness, and fear.
Pascale collaborated with 39 relatives of missing people, employing art-based methodologies to offer the public an understanding of the harrowing journey experienced by families of missing individuals. This endeavour seeks to raise awareness about their unmet needs, as many professionals and the general public remain unaware of their intricate challenges.
Consider the staggering magnitude of the issue: every year in the UK, a population equivalent to that of York (155,000 individuals) goes missing. The ripple effect is profound, with each missing person leaving an indelible emotional and financial impact on twelve people within their immediate circles and communities.
"Through the Prism of Missing - Keep Circling Around" is an opportunity to connect with the unique experiences of those navigating the labyrinth of mental health and loss. It is a poignant reminder that understanding and supporting these individuals can profoundly affect their lives.

Title: Swing
Medium: Tin and Wire
Size: 45cm x 60cm
I'm a clinical psychologist working in the NHS. I experienced mental health difficulties when I was newly qualified and just starting out in the profession. I felt a sense of shame that I was evidently not 'cut out' for the profession and terrified that I might have to give up on this, and my professional identity. With good support, therapy, and a change of working environment, I was able to find my way through at that time. I continue to tend to my emotional and psychological wellbeing and draw on the resources in and around me that support that; be that family, friends, meaningful engagement in work and activities that matter to me, creativity, and my own personal therapy. I really value all the work that is being done to destigmatise mental health professionals’ lived experience of mental illness, and to celebrate the experience and empathy that we bring to the profession. I also believe that all of us in the mental health field need to own how ‘othering’ those with mental health difficulties has always served as a defence against our own feelings of vulnerability. When we can own our very real vulnerabilities and reflect on our life stories that led us to want to do this work, we can empathise and relate to our patients from a very different position, and I believe we are far better at what we do.
This piece epitomises, for me, the beauty we can find around us in everyday things, if we just look and perhaps take a different perspective. I have always loved the balance in a mobile and find the rhythm in the movement mesmerising to look at, like watching fish in a fish tank or a crackling fire. So much of work as a psychologist is about helping people to take a different perspective – to see hope where there was despair, or to see safer ground where the floor looked to be giving way, for example. Creating this work out of something discarded and unappreciated, and turning it into something that invites a different perspective, is something that I find particularly joyful.

Title: Bad touch (2018)
Medium: Textiles - threads via soluble fabric
Size: 7-inch x 9-inch – (double sided glass framing)
This is a small self-portrait made of threads held together with hand-stitched chain stitch. Separately hand-stitched rosebud lip motifs are used as eyes and mouth. This was made as a meditation on abuse invoking the dissociation/disappearance of self, consequent upon such experiences. The threads used are silk, cotton and metallic - the latter of which invokes the inflammatory physical damage that remains in the body after trauma. The edges are left deliberately frayed, a possibility inherent to textile and the framing allows for a shadow to be cast - to invoke underlying consequences.

Title: Burnt out - the shape of smoke (2021)
Medium: Textile - burnt silk scarf with silk inserts
Size: 12-inch x 25-inch (unmounted)
This piece is made from a burnt silk prayer shawl - my prayer shawl used in yoga practice was accidentally burnt 50 years to the day after I was trapped in a fire in my childhood home with my 2 younger sisters - both parents were out. This work explores the shape of the damage wrought by fire in organic material. The six significantly burnt pieces were cut out, filled in with black translucent silk organza and detailed with silk and metallic threads worked in a mending stitch – known as boro stitch which is the type of stitching used to reclaim old and threadbare fabric- to pay soft attention to the details of the harm. The 6 patches are loosely attached with fraying an explicit part of the design. It is left unmounted to invoke the original function as worn draped cloth.

Title: Hanging by a thread (2021)
Medium: Textile - threads via soluble fabric
Size: 16-inch x 10-inch (contained in a box frame)
This piece is a meditation on overwhelm and fragility now contained in a box frame to invoke the hope of support. Tears of various colours of blue and green have been taken from silk fabric and then worked together with silk thread hand stitched chain stitch on soluble fabric. It deliberately uses expensive materials and vibrant colours to invoke the sense that it is life in all its rich vibrancy that is made fragile in trauma (counter to many stock images of fragility which use pale neutrals). The original 'containing' soluble fabric has been washed away - leaving threads and fixed tears - an act which invokes the loss of structure - the proximity of chaos in distress. This is also represented in the frayed edges and shadow play activated by the way it is held within the container.

Title: 'Patient, Therapist'
Medium: Digital print
Size: 21cm x 29.7cm
The artwork captures the intricate and changeable positions between the patient and the therapist. It serves as a reflection on the complexities of introspection, revealing the transformative nature of the context in which a person is placed.
With each shift in perspective, the artwork invites viewers to explore the multifaceted nature of their own identities and relationships. It challenges preconceived notions, urging us to question our own assumptions and the ways in which we relate to others.

This painting and the manner in which it is displayed demonstrates how art can be accessible for all. In a society where social and health inequalities are on the increase, making art can be an outlet for expressing our inner world regardless of the materials used. My use of cheap acrylics on wallpaper and masking tape for hanging demonstrates that art can be made by anyone and made from anything.

Title: Intraconnected (Title taken from Daniel J. Seigel’s book)
Medium: Acrylic on mirrored sheet
Size: 42 x 40 cm
Website: https://donnaflood1976.wixsite.com/don-mcjimpsey
MWe (Me + We) is a term coined by Dan Siegal in his 2023 book ‘Intraconnected’. The author believes that modern society has “got it all wrong” by encouraging the belief that we are separate from each other influenced by western ideologies that promote individualism. Drawing on contemporary science and indigenous cultures and traditions, the author urges us to reconsider our perception of the self as separate. To put it simply, we are all ‘interconnected’ as humans and have our own separate solo body. However, the author emphasises the importance of recognising that the self is part of a much larger system (wider universe consisting not only of humans but various species and ‘energies’). Being interconnected is considered a linear process of thinking of ourselves and others and the author argues that this can influence a separation of the self from others and can lead to experiences of being Othered and treated as less than. The author notes, “whole (system) is greater than the sum of its parts (self)”. Moving away from a linear (interconnected) view of existence to a systems view (intraconnected - we are all parts within a much larger system), might be a move away from neoliberal individualism that encourages experiences such as stigma.
Do you ever notice/feel the energy when you walk into a room? Do you notice what physical sensations occur in your body as a result of the energies or atmosphere? Our physiology reacts to the environment around us and those we are in relation with. My artwork is my attempt to show how our words, attitudes and behaviours indiscreetly or otherwise may not only affect others emotionally but can also influence a person's physiology and ‘whole’ health. I often hear the phrase ‘others emotions are not my responsibility.’ If more people were aware of how their words, attitudes and behaviours can also influence our physiology and our ‘whole’ health, I wonder if this would encourage us to think differently about the impact we may have on others emotionally. It is my hope to encourage reflection about the potential impact our words, actions and behaviours (that may not always be overt or intended), could have on another's whole health, body and the wider system/s around us.

I wrote these pieces during my recovery from work-related stress/ burnout. At the time I felt isolated in my experience as a Clinical Psychologist who was struggling with my mental health, I had sustained a moral injury when I realised the profession I had given so much to had no use for me in an unproductive state. I was not shown the compassion from the system that I had shown to countless others in my work.This took me to a place of reckoning with my profession - and these pieces were written in the midst of this.

Medium: A4 Paper, Mould, and Deckle
Size: Mould & Deckle 2pieces x 33.5x25cm Paper 29.5x21cm
This work is about the process of art making and the beginning of the therapeutic process. The A4 sheets of paper are made from recycled 'Therapy Today' magazines. 'Therapy Today' becomes my therapy today. The mould and deckle frame brings conscious the idea of the conceptual therapeutic frame. The frame holds the boundary with each sheet becoming the new material. It represents the beginning stage of therapy. Each sheetis blank, ready to be filled in and worked through. The process can be repetitive and testing but also instinctive and soothing. From the initial tearing and breaking down of the material, the back-and-forth motion of the water, the pouring of the pulp, not giving too much, not taking too much, finding a balance in the materials. The outcome is often unexpected. It’s difficult to know what texture the surface will be. Is it too dense to work through? Is it too little to work with? Has the material breached the boundary of the frame? Can it be repaired? The result never being what was expected but always appreciating the effort and consistency it took to get here.
