DONNA LAWRENCE

This project, ‘Light and Shade’ is a visual exploration of DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), a therapy typically practised through verbal communication, but in this case explored visually in the form of a solo exhibition and visual book. The visual work is a culmination of the artist’s fight with Mental health, inpatient admissions, and recovery through art and DBT. DBT focuses on a synthesis of opposites. Visually Donna’s images are visceral, harsh, and emotional, but she is working on images that contrast these demonstrations of illness, in their reflective embrace of wellness.
