Abstract

This article will discuss in the format of diaristic reflections the body of artwork Silent Space (Bywaters, 2020-21) in context to the researcher’s personal accounts as a cancer carer during the COVID-19 pandemic. It points to an Art Thinking methodology that considers the concept of interior – the subjective – and exterior – the objective – in an approach to engage painting as a self -referential mechanism. The outcomes of this research attest these key indicators to visually overcome the barriers of emotional trauma experienced as a cancer carer. In doing so, it positions the documented artefacts to further engage the cancer journey that my family has endured through painting and congealing these moments in the advancement of my studio practise.
