Unattainable

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

This image portrays journey; communication between each line, pattern and person, merging and unifying. It symbolises my training experience as an art psychotherapist; modelling theory and lived experience, amplifying my emerging identity as a trainee. The waves represent guidance and floating, currents and crashing. The vines evidence new life, knowledge and confidence. What once felt unattainable in training, has flourished post-qualification.
