Through visual strategies that embrace humour and play, Adrian Romeo explores the human condition and reflects on her own mental and physical struggles. The central project in this new body of work is a wooden racetrack comprised of five sculptural wind-up toys that represent the artist’s personal foes: depression, fatigue, chronic pain, insomnia, and self-doubt. Using her art practice to process and expose her interior world, Romeo offers visitors a space of self-reflection through interaction with her work. The viewer is invited to choose a wind-up racer to race down the track. Accompanying each racer is a card providing insight in to the mental and physical pain represented by each wind-up toy. This twisted competition of inner demons mirrors the battle that many people with physical and mental health challenges experience every day.
