Nell
Nell is a product of an attempt I made to create a cartoon about a character named ‘Nell’. The energy I had available from not needed to be doing a job and earn money meant I was restlessly having ideas and creating new material, but my mental health meant I also found it difficult to complete or define the material I was creating. In this video, I recite a short monologue introducing the character of ‘Nell’ who is born out of a broken rib, and whose feelings and ability to communicate are described over a soothing background piece of music and footage from a visit to London Zoo. The language used to describe ‘Nell’ uses some psychiatric terminology, but the tone is gentle and almost like a child’s fairy-tale.
