Sara Hood

Preston, Lancashire
I am an artist, born with Autism and Dyslexia, events at the ages of 17 and 18 led to me being diagnosed with PTSD. The neurological changes while my brain was still young and developing left me with symptoms of ADHD.

I create work to instigate healthy conversations and hopefully in turn insight positive societal change regarding acceptance and knowledge of neurodiversity and how we can all find our place together rather than apart or marginalised. I use my lived experience as a person with PTSD, ASD, ADHD symptoms and Dyslexia as the basis for my research and the work that follows.

The use of many different clay bodies symbolises the diversity of our society. The rabbit and sometimes other prey animals appear as a central agent referencing the fight or flight response which is prevalent in many neurodiverse conditions.

Neurodiversity adds a richness to the weave of our species and its cultures, it should be held dear and celebrated in all its wonderful forms.
