Through my drawing I am able to peel back the protective layers I display to the outside world and undertake a deeply personal journey of intense psychological scrutiny\, exploring my deepest responses to the world around me. In attempting to capture not only the physical attributes of a subject but also the less tangible emotional aspects\, I repeatedly explore themes such as the physical manifestations of a mind in turmoil\, the relationship between the psyche and the environment\, the minute traces we leave upon the world and the imprint it leaves upon us. While dealing with some very private emotions\, my drawings also relate to a more universal experience of our human condition. \nHiding in Plain Sight centres around my personal experience of eating disorders\, anxiety and depression over the past twelve years\, as well as exploring wider themes of grief\, yearning\, confusion\, despair and finally\, hope.  Many of these works also contain a hint of dark humour\, as I consider how insignificant my own struggles are within a wider context.  I have reached a point where I am compelled to undertake a raw and honest reflection upon how far I have come and how far I have yet to go.  For me this project is a form of exposure therapy; it is work that I need to do in order to process the thoughts\, feelings and behaviours that have dominated my life for so long and begin to understand them\, and also to depict my on-going daily struggle to overcome these physical and mental battles in order to forge on with my life and work.  These drawings have been in development over the past three years\, and this is the first time they have been displayed collectively – to do so is both terrifying and liberating. \nKim Anderson\, 2017[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist Talk Saturday 16 December” tab_id=”1513220289902-98eece35-2a72″][vc_column_text]On the final day of this exhibition\, join Julie McLaren\, Curator at the Art Gallery of Ballarat\, and Kim Anderson as they discuss the background and themes explored in this body of work. \nSaturday 16th December @ 2pm \nfortyfivedownstairs\n45 Flinders Lane\nMelbourne VIC 3000 \nExhibition concludes 4pm Saturday 16th December.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
