‘They Don’t Care’ was a durational performance to protest against inadequate mental health services and provision. Repeatedly writing the words ‘To Whom It May Concern’, I endeavoured over a period of 27 hours to fill 27 reams of paper .

I have written countless letters over the last 27 years to try and prevent my son from suffering another mental health crisis, many of which were never acknowledged. My son’s explanation provides the title of the work. ‘I keep telling you. They don’t care’.

Visitors to the gallery were invited to join me in my attempt to write on every sheet. The challenge to do so within the timeframe was to prove impossible, ending with no satisfactory conclusion, just like my unanswered requests over the years.
