Bring Me To Heal
Bring Me To Heal
Amartey Golding
Forma
This limited edition is based on Amartey Golding's film commission Bring Me To Heal, which combines filmmaking, photography and a handcrafted garment to highlight generational trauma in Britain. The title is a plea to acknowledge the importance of understanding our shared emotional past and offer collective rituals of healing. The video still depicts a key scene in the work, at which the protagonist is put to the test.

Amartey Golding often turns to his Anglo-Scottish and Ghanaian ancestry by way of a Rastafarian upbringing as a point of departure to explore the drivers of human behaviour. Through film, photography and an increasingly labour-intensive process of sculpture, he creates dreamlike spaces, steeped in historical reference in which to locate characters experiencing moments of immutable change – points of no return that often leave the future hanging in the balance.
