Some kind of mood considers the everyday ritual of taking medication and going to
therapy, both events that are commonly associated with mental and chronic illness.

Together with the contributions of community, Cummins has amassed a collection of associated materials such as prescription medication boxes, blister packs, images, stories, tissues and tears. Through the reimagining of these accumulated materials as an installation, the often-invisible is made visible and an opportunity for communal dialogue and exchange is presented.

Anita Cummins is a queer artist living in Narrm (Melbourne) on unceded Wurundjeri country. In response to various systems of oppression, their work aims to seek out and uncover alternative modes and methods for coping, healing and recovery. They employ the use of repetitive methodologies as a mechanism for the processing and exploration of complex emotional states.

In 2018 they received the Les Kossatz Memorial Award for their Honours graduate showcase. This led to their inclusion in the national graduate showcase Hatched at Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, for which they were awarded the Schenberg Fellowship 2019. They are currently completing a Master of Fine Art by research at Monash University. Previous exhibitions include feelings, Monash University, 2018; Airbnb guest, Sideshow, 2016; Living Lab of Beauty, Long Division, 2015 and Quick Copy, Bus Projects, 2013.
