Lauren Woods
One in Four
One in four people in the United Kingdom suffer with a mental disorder. This can include anxiety, depression, insomnia, schizophrenia, bipolar, eating disorders, and personality disorders. The rate at which these disorders are being diagnosed indicates mental health is on track to become the world's largest recognised disability. Having suffered various mental health disorders, Woods has developed a daily routine in which she makes photographs to explore and visualise her anxious thoughts. The work is realised by handprinting fibre-based prints in the darkroom--a slow-making antidote to her fast-paced, erratic thinking. Woods' empathetic work aims to reach out to those who may be suffering with a mental disorder, however this is a deeply personal project for the artist.
