Artist Statement
’Quixote 2022’ reflects on attitudes towards mental health in the arts.
Against a background of insanity as entertainment ( William Hogarth’s “The Rake in Bedlam”, deconstructed), ’Quixote 2022’ combines ill-advised surgical treatments (colours from Hieronymous Bosch’s “The Extraction of the Stone of Madness”) with the exportation of the mentally ill from society (shapes derived from the text of Sebastian Brandt’s “Ship of Fools”) in a confined knot of striving.
