Delight to have my work included in this exhibition.

Gillian Wright's painting Cop On is from a body of work created to express the trauma of bereavement by suicide. The artist's intention was for the painting to be confrontational, with the direct gaze connecting the viewer to the raw emotion of the subject. Wright volunteers with Healing Untold Grief Groups (HUGG), through which she has found that by providing people bereaved by suicide a safe space in which to express their emotions, a degree of hope and healing can be achieved. Suicide is an epidemic in our country – and yet it remains taboo, ensuring the bereaved a lonely and silent grief, laden with stigma and shame. Societal taboos subtly dissuade people from talking about issues like suicide, thereby curbing their freedom of speech in an indirect and complex way.

I am so thrilled to have my work featured in this inaugural issue of Profiles Journal!
