We turn the tables! I make art whilst you watch and you/we talk. Your unique art is posted to you.
“It felt like having a session of ‘free association’ ...The finished art work really surprised me: i was vaguely anticipating an abstract piece that you would have to explain more to me, but as we discussed the different elements of the picture, it became clear that it had grown from the conversation and your interpretation of my ‘stream of consciousness’. I feel accurately captured at this moment and time in my life. ”

“ It was a pleasant session and I think because you were creating the art work whilst I talked, it felt less intensive and more suitable for people (such as myself) with learning or communication differences/challenges than, for example, doing a face to face session with counsellors or therapists. ”
