Neither Romantic nor Inevitable                              Mental health and wellbeing supplements
 

This project is based on principles of community ownership in health and wellbeing and takes the form of mail art and audience participation.

The inspiration for the project derives from the health supplements I take every day. With these supplements, I invest in my physical health and wellbeing, although I may often neglect my mental health. The title is inspired by an article written by Alistair Gentry on a-n website, which aimed at generating a more open dialogue around mental illness and wellbeing in the arts
