Together, Together: The Home Issue
Release date: 17th September 2020
In moments of adversity, the world looks to the creative community for direction, resolve and optimism. The events of this year have compelled us all to explore the concept of ‘home’; from the literal, domestic meaning to the intangible, abstract questions of who and what home is for each of us as individuals. Amid desolation, realisation and hope, we’re all in the search of feeling at home.
For Storehouse’s 21st (issue), we want to document the way the NUA community has internalised and reacted to foreign-familiarity. By using technology to focus on authentic connections, our community still grows and develops remotely; together, together.
Lois Wilson In response to the word ‘together’, this piece represents guidance and support in relation to mental health. The study of hands comes from direct references of my hand as well as the hand of my younger sibling, who is currently struggling, but slowly opening up. As someone who deals with mental health issues myself, I find that it is very important to check in on people as they may be suffering in silence. This piece also aims to encourage people to seek professional help when things become unmanageable, knowing that people will support and help you. Words: Lois Wilson, Animation, @lois.sketchbook
