Brainstorm is a large painting, depicting a gold outline of a cropped brain segment. The ‘brain form’ is materialised from a maelstrom of mark making which opens up a space to reflect on a repetitiveness-mesmerising-meditative endeavour that has no questions or answers. Just to 'be'. A 'mindfulness' of turbulence. It is at once busy and calming. A space to contemplate a presence of self.

Our mental health is a precious resource; the gold in this context is not representing wealth but is a symbol of our self worth.
