Good Enough explores ownership of self through the play space of body and psyche, using my own image transformed - reconstructing notions of self, and the perimeters of my bodily autonomy.

Having started the explorations in 2021, I had the honour of working with photographer Christopher Sherman, our collaborative portraits and images allowing me a library of photographic digital play.

These works are digital collage, and when exhibited include lego installation as well as written text on walls using lipstick. Wall writing offers a metaphor for the scribing of new experiences on my interior being, while giving a feeling of scribbled marker on walls at the hands of tiny humans. Drawings from my children offer fantastical characters, elements of invited friction, and stand as place keepers for mental illness and invisible disability made whimsically visible. Linguistic nods to D.W. Winnicott, and a red stained lip all become toys for play.

In including early drawings from my own children, I attempt to question societal expectations placed on artist parents to separate themselves from their role as parent in order to be artist, rather than allowing their parental identity to infiltrate the space of creating.
