Corinne – Daisyland

Daisyland invites you to enter the mind of Disabled Artist Corinne, who’s health confines them to bed.

Meet the magical creatures who inhabit Daisyland, from the Grey Wolves to The Casket Fly’s who hold memories of dearly departed loved ones. Visit Corinne’s childhood bedroom, where aged six, Corinne met their only childhood and imaginary friend named Daisy, the inspiration behind Daisyland.

This prototype of Daisyland is Corinne’s first foray into digital art.

Frustrated by limitations of in-person exhibitions Corinne cannot be present for they view Daisyland as an accessible gallery space, where they can exhibit their art and eventually commission and exhibit works by other marginalised artists. Bed confinement is isolating but Daisyland brings new liveness and immersion to their work, enabling them to break free from their restrictive bed

Artist Bio:

Corinne is a disabled self-portrait artist producing mainly photographic depictions from the same 2 by 1.5 metre space; their bed. This year marks their sixth year of spending almost every day confined to bed. Their art is a form of therapy to ease ongoing struggles with severe mental illness and physical disability.

The biggest barrier to developing my career is my inability to be physically present; the rise of virtual working during the pandemic removed this barrier. My life and art have become inextricably entwined, to bury my struggles deep within would allow them to thrive, but through my use of art as therapy, I am offered a cathartic release”.
