Since I realised I was autistic just over a year ago, I’ve been reflecting on what relationship autism has with my practice as an artist working with people/places.
As part of a thread of #NeuroqueerEcology research on Neurodivergent people’s experiences of place/ecology, I wrote this post y’day on collecting.
I’d be grateful if you could have a read and add your comments 🙏🏼

Drawings with botanical inks made using plants from near the River Avons (Salisbury and Bristol). Ongoing #QueerRiver research.
Thinking about big bodies snd the word ‘Quagmire’.
Plus two photos from my walk with the dog earlier, of watery ditches/river surface.

A bit of context on my header image, created as part of my #QueerRiver artist’s research and using botanical inks (not blood) that I’ve made from materials collected near the River Avon - here’s a post on the Queer River site, looking at drawing, ink making and tattoos:
