Comments for the reflections exhibition
AIMs is a wonderful concept. Many of the artists had not thought of putting pen, paint and other media to paper let alone displaying their work in a public exhibition. The work is professional and first rate. Art in the various media has helped individuals to relax and express themselves.
The words accompanying several pieces show how the experience has enabled confidence, for example – “For forty years I have been stood at the window, nose pressed against it, watching the art inside, never having the courage to open the door. Then someone opened the door FOR me and asked me to come in out of the cold”.
Each piece of work with the artists name and their inner thoughts is courageous and to be admired. With a little help and patient encouragement, so much more has been achieved. This is such a worthwhile enterprise for whatever problems one might experience and should do much to remove the stigma of mental illness from the public’s mind.
Congratulations to all concerned with the AIMs project.
