About this work
This piece contributes to a series of text-based exploration referencing a poem by Emily Dickinson, Me From Myself – To Banish. I am fascinated with the human condition and the stories we tell ourselves, often without realising. Emily Dickinson's poem explores this, the realisation of self-conflict, the need to be present in it, and perhaps to banish what is not serving oneself.

Me from Myself — to banish — 
Had I Art — Impregnable my Fortress 
Unto All Heart —
But since Myself — assault Me — 
How have I peace 
Except by subjugating 
Consciousness?
And since We're mutual Monarch 
How this be 
Except by Abdication — 
Me — of Me?
