My name is Imogen Moon and my work explores a subjective view of sickness; how I and other artists navigate sickness through artmaking as therapy. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, resulting in my frequent hospitalisation. The impact of this on my life and practice means planning, caution, and rest are necessarily embedded within both my daily routine and how I approach my artmaking. My work explores Spoon Theory and how chronic illness affects my everyday life as well as using my art as therapy to help myself to deal with the trauma caused by medical negligence. My screen prints allow me to create something beautiful out of the ugly by taking a positive and critical outlook to my experiences. I love using bright colours and bold but natural lines. Although my work addresses aspects of trauma that are specific to my own personal situation, the work itself is meant to be relatable in a broader context by drawing attention to issues that are faced by everyone at some point in their life, without being triggering to people with medical trauma or anxiety.
