Thank you to everyone who has submitted their work and shared their story!
The following art pieces have been created by Natalie, from Adfam’s Lived Experience Group. A mix of both painted and fabric art, using hand dyeing, embroidery, screen printing and collage fabric, the art demonstrates the emotional scarring and bruising Natalie’s Dad’s alcohol dependency has had on her life and feeling of suffocation she has felt as his carer. It also shows the feeling of how his addiction started to feel like her own, taking over her life and the feeling of coming undone. In two of the pieces, the fabric has been stretched around a circular form to reflect the feeling of being in a vicious cycle.
