PYLON a new mixed media installation inspired by experiences of psychosis 
Southampton based artist James Paddock receives Arts Council England funding for first London solo exhibition​

“Life’s rhythms are magnified and everything around the psychotic character is at a hyper level. The everyday is intensified and the normal journey is taken to another world, another land – a new place. Birdsong, the sea, the wind is in communication with the psychotic character – a world in which people communicate telepathically.”

James Paddock has been awarded Arts Council funding to develop PYLON, a new mixed media installation inspired by experiences of psychosis. The artwork will be exhibited at A-side B-side Gallery in London from 5 – 10 September 2019 as Paddock’s first London solo exhibition.
 
The installation takes the viewer on a journey of a psychotic young woman (performed by actress and performance artist, Amber Weyman) who travels on foot, as the psychotic experience unravels. The artwork uses moving image and special audio techniques (binaural sound) to convey the psychotic experience to audiences through an immersive installation. 


“We are pleased to support PYLON. At the Arts Council we believe that arts and culture can have a positive impact on wellbeing and this project opens the door to discussions around the experience of different types of mental health issues.”

Phil Gibby, Area Director, Arts Council England​

I am a Visual Artists who works in conceptual, film and installation and I exhibit in London, elsewhere within the UK and overseas.  I was funded by Arts Council England in 2017 for my ‘Shells’ project. I have an interest in the highway between the sub conscious and the conscious mind and the role Mental ill health plays within that. I do a lot of self-analysis and like the fact that in some cases ‘Thinking outside the box’ has a correlation with certain mental conditions. I look at human nature from a sociological perspective and at individuals and have a different perspective on life than most. I like to use my everyday philosophical content within my art. I am currently creating and developing a ‘Creative recovery’ course with health professionals  and also co-facilitate courses on mental health recovery.
