Background

I broke my ankle, hiking in Patagonia shortly before Easter 2008. It happened very close to the end of nine months travelling around the world, whilst on self-elected sabbatical.

So, with little reason or possibility of deflecting, I once more started my self-study art course, thinking all the while that my many photos and travel experiences would inspire me to somehow create copiously.

Finding, though instead, the awakening of Spring in my garden, and a slow, but increasingly noticeable mobility on my part, meant I hobbled my way through my home, reviewing my aspirations and reviving my passions more widely for art.
