My Psychotic Heart
Only ever one thought away


An extraordinary sound installation, this was an ear-opening journey through psychosis, created from a unique collaboration between artists and mental health service users. Engulfed by chaos, the visitor was taken on a journey to secret little places where compelling stories slowly unfolded.
The venue symbolised the vast expanse of the human mind, a place of love, humour, joy and sometimes of fear and confusion.
The collaboration between installation directors Andrea Earl and Kal Ross and Hope Street Ltd Apprentices was forged through Hope Street Ltd's innovative New Work Workshops in October of 2006.
Andrea Earl is an award-winning writer for television, theatre and radio.
Kal Ross is an internationally-renowned sound engineer and designer, working in theatre, film, music and television.

Directed by John Fox, this two-month project culminated in a three-day outdoor celebration of the Liverpool/ Leeds Canal.
Groups and individuals along the canal made films on the past, present, future and mythology of the canal, led by our professional team of musicians, film-makers and community artists.
These films were integrated into a three-day celebration, involving performance, music, dancing, food and drink.
