The Descent into Depression and the Healing Return Journey
Pandora's Box is an art show designed to take the viewer gradually into the dark world of depression but then bring them back full circle to the light again. The show is divided into three sections—Symptoms, Medicine and Small Blessings.
Gillian McCulloch is neither a doctor nor an expert on depression but as an artist has tried to describe her own personal experience with this illness in visual images to add to the growing discussion about this mental health issue.
This exhibit is available as an artists talk and slide presentation.
