Interwoven: Neurodiversity and the Creative Mind launched in 2020, exploring the intersection of my ADHD and creative expression through a series of compulsively crocheted hanging forms. Driven by a hyperactive need to use my hands, the work channels the physical urgency of making. I was drawn to jute twine for its accessibility, but also for its coarse texture and structural solidity, which mirrored the harshness and weight of the masks I’ve worn. The first chapter, Masking, visualises the shifting, adaptive forms of the neurodivergent masks I wear to navigate a neurotypical world.
