Noctambule (Night Walker)

Mental health is a vast and complicated topic which for every answer found there is an alternative question. Nothing is black and white, one doesn’t have to be mad to suffer mental health and one doesn’t have to be depressed to commit suicide.

My work is a personal take on mental health, it is a look at my own state of mind, reflecting my perceptions of life as I live it. It deals with the symptoms of a 58 year attempt of living a life that involved, for the most part, a desire for fame and the lifestyle that came with it which has affected me in a multitude of ways.

My circadian rhythm is out of sync without being a sufferer of SAD, I have been questioned on my masculinity without being effeminate and have strong feelings of loneliness whilst living with a wife.

I intend through the use of video and photography to show those affects.
