1 [Thread]baring My Soul : Regrets and Reparation Kerry Martin , 2021 single work essay
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , December vol. 11 no. 2 2021; (p. 120-130) This essay is a retrospective look at a body of work created by the author in 2018. The work, Thread Bare[ing]: a confessional response to witnessing dementia, was a personal exploration of the emotional impact of bearing witness to a parent’s descent into Alzheimer’s disease. This essay describes the process and thinking around the creation of four artworks that embodied the emotional context of bearing witness: guilt, frustration, sorrow and fear. The aim of this autobiographical and deeply personal project was to generate discussion about the emotional fallout for carers as a result of dealing with a loved one’s dementia. With the hindsight of three years and the death of the author’s mother, additional insights into the reparative nature of the work became possible. A re-examination of the project, through this paper, reveals how the act of making can facilitate a longer term healing influence on relationships, even retrospectively. (Publication abstract)
1 We All Need a Break : Introducing 'On the Mend' Ursula K Frederick , Tracy Ireland , Monica Andrew , Kerry Martin , 2021 single work essay
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , December vol. 11 no. 2 2021; (p. 1-4) 'When first setting out to edit a volume on care and repair it seemed like the world, in so many and varied ways, was in need of serious attention. Although many of the issues confronting us were not new, the increasingly devastating effects of climate change and the emergence of COVID-19 had brought the need for mending into sharper focus. At that time, only a year into the pandemic, we envisaged breakages, fragilities and fault lines as things that urgently needed fixing. That perspective is still valid, but we now also sense a more nuanced understanding of the opportunities that ‘breaks’ may bring.' (Introduction)
