Speaking on Mental Health and Art
My two main Interests and Experiences in my life
Allowing myself the space to express my thoughts and life in Art and Mental Health by providing answers to questions I have prompted by my own creative mind
While sharing self portraits of a youthful girl before I embraced madness and altered my recognition of my once reflection of what my face looked like before I turned hard, disrupted as to reclaim hope, and the softness of an innocence which was take away after my addiction to madness grew and placed me in the void which came afterwards
Sharing these retrospective images circa 2006-2008 is my goal to reclaim my identity and recognize myself again as I once lived in the abyss of not knowing what happens once you cross over the lines of reality
I now look to reemerge as I have grown into a new version of where I became classified as what I call myself as being The Mind Contortionist where I am making a Guest Appearance to The Real
A new identity as a consumer/survivor calling myself The Mind Contortionist instead of being identified by what others have coined those who lived through psychosis as a "Mad Man"
X
The years following 2018 have been the constructing of thoughts through brainstorms in note taking to come into ideas of creativity in the many art ideas I have had as not to lose any potential use of a concept in art
I have used these ideas to come into the art practice I do now, with no real guidance I swirled around ideas and ideas
Sharing with some while being told I was one with too many moving parts or too many projects
Some came with support that I was a genius and others believed I was too convoluted scattered
I organized as the words of the two worlds from the outsiders perspective rolled around in my mind
In conclusion for this display on X being shared I have been Influenced by the Flight of Ideas that happen in psychosis, something I have much experience in and have brought my unseen ideas on the Social to share all that has travelled in and out of my thoughts
I showcase every thought I have had through documentation of brainstorming to help provide examples of what the still workable mind which has collapsed on itself and rebuilt in the intangibility realm of consciousness
In Vasiliki's many years building and developing her art, she has realized that it is in the conception of ideas that her interest are.
As discovering this took her since 2007 when she became a practicing artist, along the way she built a formula in which she noticed her work benefited greatly.
Vasiliki shares this formula in a brainstorming fashion on Reddit as to help others to navigate their creations with her personal and volunteered working ideas of how to make real the true things that people would like to bring to light.
Vasiliki also shares brainstorms for mental health solutions on how to work through thoughts on a daily basis. Based on brainstorming once again thoughts, quotes, words as to navigate through a more positive way to experience ideas in life.
