À propos du livre
'Inside Outside' is a 47-page soft cover photographic memoir of mental illness.
This book was photographed on the grounds of the same hospital where the artist was once a patient. Chronicling a troubled childhood which leads to institutionalization, ‘Inside Outside’ is a moving and powerful portrait of trauma and a broken mental health system.
Full of straitjackets, hospital gowns, overgrowth, and rusted iron, ‘Inside Outside’ captures the beautiful ruins of a century old, decommissioned New York State asylum and the haunting loneliness of those who lived there.

À propos du créateur
Issues Gallery
Queens, New York
As mental health has always been a taboo, stigmatized subject, the one thing people all fear, we at Issues Gallery lean into our respective issues, trauma, and treatment, benefitting from medication, years of therapy, and using the arts as a way to understand and heal ourselves and others. We offer ourselves up as courageous examples of expressive arts therapy, healing, and using these tools; through exhibition of our work, art books, and memoirs, as guideposts and breadcrumbs for others still lost in the fog of mental illness and instability but aware enough to want to find a way out.
