I have body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs), which are within the broad remit of obsessive compulsive disorder but with their own pathologies. They can involve picking and pulling of skin and hair on the body, and for some, can cause other serious physical health issues. As an approach to redirect my attention away from picking or pulling, I started to make intricate pen and ink drawings and named the series Scribbles on Healing. Scribbles on Healing explores the process of picking, pulling and scratching through detailed pen and ink drawings of natural materials that have gone through their own process of excoriation, like a twig stripped of its bark, or bones stripped of their flesh.
