The West Australian Pulse: Jodie Rankin expresses her journey of anxiety through artwork


Edvard Munch’s work has inspired many artists, but it was some words from the master painter that really spoke to Jodie Rankin.

The teenager interpreted the revered Munch’s quote, “From my rotting body, flowers shall grow, and I am in them, and that is eternity”, through the lens of her anxiety disorder to create her intricately embroidered piece, Eternity, which is on show at The West Australian Pulse exhibit.

“It is my interpretation, not only of Munch’s quote, but my portrayal of how my anxiety manifests and feels,” the 18-year-old said.

“In creating the piece, it was very soothing for my anxieties, and the chaoticness of it and all the different aspects of it reflect how anxiety has so many different aspects but there’s good and bad parts of it, positives and negatives.”

The free West Australian Pulse exhibit is at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
