"We are all people of contradictions"

We are different on good days and bad days, in private and in public. Sometimes we feel big and sometimes we feel small. Sometimes we support and sometimes we lean. All of these contradictions make up the whole person – all add up to the "real you".

But sometimes the person reflected in the eyes of the people you meet is not the "real you". These works of art were all created using the above theme. All the artists have personal experience mental distress. 

The artwork was submitted for the Mind Cymru exhibition at the National Eisteddfod of Wales which takes place near Bangor from 30 July to 6 August. The Eisteddfod is one of biggest events in Wales and the oldest cultural event in Europe. The entire event takes place through the medium of Welsh. You can find more information about the National Eisteddfod on their website.

The purpose of the Mind Cymru exhibition is to promote the contribution that is made to art and culture in Wales by people with experience of mental distress.
