About this artwork
Carousel is based on Andy’s discussions with people who are bipolar. Andy wanted to convey both sides of the condition – areas of yellows and reds to representing “the high”, juxtaposed with looming, billowing areas of charcoal infused darkness. The Carousel horse crashing to earth is a one of the metaphors used by a sufferer to represent the changes in their mind state.
