Conversations With Myself
by Karen Brett
Still from Conversations With Myself
Synopsis:
Karen Brett’s Conversations with Myself is a complex exploration of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The work portrays sufferers of OCD weighed down by a burden of doubt they place upon themselves every day of their lives.
Karen has always been interested in drawing the viewer worlds that are kept enclosed and private. OCD places sufferers in an internalised world of rules and doubts, and this is a world personal to Karen herself.
In Conversations with Myself internal voices jar with ordinary domestic settings in three powerful portraits that document individuals experiencing a compulsive episode.
