I am showing my #Weddingdress the one I made in 2012 of #Miss #Miss #Havisham who is a character inĀ  Charles #Dickens novel Great Expectations.

#Miss #Havisham is #jilted at the altar, who insists on wearing her wedding dress for the rest of her life, and ……………the rest is history.

For me she is an interesting person in relation to mental health an opens questions we as Artists can make regarding the male approval of our gender throughout history

Those with a history of contact with mental health services have sought representation, support and advocacy for centuries. Service user advocacy groups are varied in nature: from grassroots to national, informal to established, conservative to radical, they reflect the diversity of society.

This exhibition highlights the material culture of some of these groups, and charts the development and impact of their voices, and the challenges they have faced.
