Biography
Lizz Brady has exhibited in the UK and internationally, and much of her work explores issues surrounding mental health, perception, and fractured narratives.[2][3][4][5] In her visual art, Lizz Brady often utilises drawing, installation, journaling or diary writing, and focuses on her personal experiences with borderline personality disorder.[6][7] In Dennis Cooper’s the Weaklings, Brady’s installations were characterized as: “a warren of interconnecting passageways, uneven flooring, and doors leading into themselves, whilst filming each viewer as they attempted to progress through the tangle of structures.”[8] Through these approaches Brady attempts to draw parallels between her own experiences and those of the viewers as they become immersed in the installation.[9]
In the journal The Lancet, she recalled of her process:
- “I began to research artists who used their experiences with mental health within their work, and became inspired with what they had accomplished.”[10]
More recently, Lizz Brady’s project Broken Grey Wires examines the relationship between art and mental health by developing a dialogue with leading contemporary artists.[11][12] Broken Grey Wires includes work by contemporary artists such as David Shrigley, Stuart Semple, Bobby Baker, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Ryan Trecartin, Jeremy Deller, and David Sherry.[13][14] Through personal experience the project aims “to tackle the relationship between mental health issues and their role and use in contemporary art practice.”[15]
