GREY aka. THE BORED CRYPTED

Inner: Don’t Peak, 2023

Performance painting in the Art Hut: eight paintings, acrylic on canvas and wood panels

Inner: Don’t Peak is a series of eight paintings that depict the artist’s physical manifestations of trauma and mental illness. The characters depicted in each of the eight paintings represent a different archetype: Baba, a humanoid-bird creature that represents generational trauma; The Neighbor, a feminine presence that represents self-harm; Suffocating Hugger, a figure draped in layered fabrics that represent depression; Double Trouble, androgynous-looking twins that represent anxiety and paranoia; The Three-Headed Who, a faceless figure with three-headsthat represent derealisation, depersonalization and  dissociation; Daydreamer, a fae that represents maladaptive daydreaming; Shackled Distract, a long-bodied creature that represents executive dysfunction; Cursed Ones, transparent humanoid figures that represent dysphoria and gender-dysphoria. Grey intends to expand this series into a divination deck, depicting a wider range of mental illnesses, disorders and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Land Acknowledgment

We would like to acknowledge that we are located on ancestral lands, the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabe covered by the Williams Treaties. This area, known to the Anishinaabe as “Gidaaki”, has been inhabited for thousands of years – as territories for hunting, fishing, gathering and growing food.


For thousands of years Indigenous people have been the stewards of this place. The intent and spirit of the treaties that form the legal basis of Canada bind us to share the land “for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow”.
