Dewi Cary

I am a visual artist with long-term mental health issues who identifies as neurodiverse. I use moving-image to create films, video art and installations in addition I create performances, drawings, and paintings.

My work explores concepts of the conscious and the sub-conscious and how we move between the borders of the mind and the physical world around us.

This encompasses my personal perception of the world how I view it, and what society reflects onto the individual. I believe that people with mental health problems should be valued for their strengths, insight, and creativity and that when they are, everyone benefits.

I have recently been funded by British Council Unlimited to take part in an international video art exchange project with an artist in Nepal. 

I am currently working on an Arts Council England supported project to develop a new video artwork, ‘High Spring Tide’. Following a period of a research and community engagement to gather creative responses to the ever-changing Portsmouth seafront, I will exhibit my new video work at Treadgolds Warehouse and showcase it at We Shine Festival.
