About me
Cecilia Bullo’s recent work investigates the potential of a journey or voyage taken in the hope of healing ones inner self. Through aspects from the life of theorist, philosopher and playwright, Antonin Artaud, the artist considers the coping mechanisms that come into play when the body and mind are at pains to mend a trauma. Bullo’s work departs from Artaud’s journey to Ireland in 1937, a journey made in the hope of returning what he believed to be St. Patrick’s crosier to its homeland. The importance of the crosier to Artaud becomes for Bullo both a physical and metaphorical guide with which she delicately probes the nature of self healing and the journeys that are taken as part of this process. Through the Jungian suggestion that the experience of psychosis is a journey for the individual to rediscover something that has been lost to them, the concept of METANOIA comes to represent an existential journey towards recovery.
