The Upcycled Healing Brain

"A unique and brilliant insight into Luca’s real, researched and imagined experiences, combining image and text to show how creativity can be (and is) intrinsic to the art of living well. Profoundly moving, playful and full of rich humanity and love – you will laugh out loud, you’ll probably cry, but you will come to know Luca and how he ultimately navigates an extraordinary and vibrant life."
— Dr Jess Moriarty, Course Leader of Creative Writing MA at Brighton University, and Director of the Research Centre in Arts and Wellbeing

"An emotional, artistic, visceral journey through Luca's lived experience of neurological trauma and the disability that followed. Be prepared to ride the waves in and out, to accompany Luca through times of confusion, despair, acceptance as well as love, joy and a newness of life."
— Dr Anita Marsden, Clinical Psychologist and Mindfulness Teacher specialising in Neurodivergence and Neuroaffirmative practice

“Executed with a high level of critical and emotional intelligence – and I suspect a great deal of inner strength – it is a gem of an expected but welcome publication.”
— Craig Burston, Senior Lecturer in Graphic and Media Design at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London
