The work within this gallery explores the artists personal journey reconnection back into creativity after acquired brain injury, which initially began with making but with an absence of confidence in colour. The pieces explore this reconnection with colour through making, music and storytelling with some pieces taking inspiration from stories depicted in native folk songs.
Central to the exhibition is REFRAMING, Rachel’s collaboration with Brain Injury Matters. The piece was co-design and co-produced by people living with acquired brain injury depicting journeys of rehabilitation and reframing life post injury.
This image captures the people who supported and collaborated in the project together with members of there families and friends, members of staff and volunteers from Brain Injury Matters NI.
The following images are from the opening afternoon in Island Arts Centre, Lisburn.
