Geography is defined as the study of the physical earth, the atmosphere and the effects Humanity has on them. Romantic Geography began in Berlin in 2015 and continues to be reflected in the artist\u2019s practice and works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tiller Daughter works have grown from the artist\u2019s diagnosis, and subsequent treatment, for a combination of anxiety disorders and how that has fundamentally affected her relationship with previously safe environments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Tiller Daughter #1 and #2 the viewer is invited to consider what is helpful for one person may not be for another, and that experiences for a mentally well person may be completely different for those experiencing cognitive dissonance and distress. Nature is often put forward as a one example of a \u2018cure-all\u2019, a simple treatment for those experiencing mental illness. Part of a wider culture of misunderstanding and dismissal, mental illnesses can be met with such unhelpful suggestions: supporting symptoms of doubt, shame and ultimately failure to seek treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these works we see how one\u2019s inner landscape is the lens through which we experience our physical world. This is the first time the artist has been well enough to intimately explore an aspect of her diagnosis in her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiller Daughter #1 and #2 There are 418 million blades of grass per person alive in 2019.
