Another old story, cleaned up with AI.

I wanted to share this story and recording because it’s always felt special to me.

I met a few people while running art projects in hospitals and care homes who, every few seconds, needed to be reminded of where they were and what they were doing. One of them, Paula, had to be told that she was safe and in the right place constantly, or her head would tilt back, her eyes would lose focus, and she would start to scream. I thought it might help if I held her hand, but it made no difference. All I had to do was stop talking to her and she would zone out or start to shout, “What am I doing? Please help me!” Playing her favorite music occasionally helped, but she would need someone to sit with her and remind to listen. In truth, her life was lived in a state of almost constant panic. The care staff would dress her and help her eat. She could use cutlery, but without being reminded every few seconds, she would drop the food on the floor and start to scream. Inevitably, she would be returned to her room soon after getting up, hoping she might fall asleep.

Stories about people living with dementia, told in their words.

A short substack post about how the Trebus Project began and a section from Sheila Hugo's remarkable story.

I established the first artist residencies to work exclusively with people with dementia in their homes.

Care home shareholders make an awful lot of money keeping people alive who would much rather be dead.
