I'M SCARED OF CHOCOLATE BARS (2022)

K's first solo exhibition, 'I'M SCARED OF CHOCOLATE BARS' was a candid documentation of their hospital admission in 2019 and year living as a patient in a mental health unit for treatment of anorexia nervosa. During their admission, K did over 300 drawings, beginning with incoherent, disturbing scribblings to more detailed sketches that channeled humour and clarity as their mental stability improved. K showed all 300+ drawings in the exhibition space at Village Books, Leeds alongside new sculpture work in response to the drawings, taking inspiration from the various self portraits K did of themselves. The show also featured photography in the form of selfies K took whilst in treatment. The show was accompanied by a limited edition zine featuring a selection of the 300 drawings available to purchase at Village.
