On the Corner

I was told by my doctor in May 2002 that in two weeks I would be well enough to work in a job. The term 'well' restricted the behaviour I felt I could participate in or allow myself to experience; it made the space I had to behave in smaller.

I have for a long time liked to imbue ordinary objects such as the fruit here in a still life with an extraordinary presence so what has been depicted has a feeling that is almost surrealist.

A friend inspired me to paint this scene which I thought to be a good idea, as I have been looking at this view for many years and had not noticed until then.

I painted 'Cavern' at the onset of acute depression brought on by workbased stress. I realised later the significance of the material painted - the unending pounding of waves against the brittle fragmenting rock and the deep dark endless cavern of de

The Cavern

I do not believe there is such a thing as insanity only vary degrees of lack of sanity. When doctors make notes on their patients they make two sets of observations, subjective and objective. So here are 5 years of my psychiatric notes shredded, but

I have suffered from mental health problems for the last 10 years, but have been an artist for longer. This print shows the duality often associated with schizophrenia, the bandaged head shows an illness so often left unnoticed. We all too often beco

It is the cover of a book of poems. I wanted to paint Christ in the clouds but I've drawn myself in Christ's place. It solves the problem of loss of identity in schizophrenia: In the words of Lipo (China 700 A.D.)

This is one of a series of 'Portraits' of my brother who has been defined as a 'schizoid type' who, since 15, has had lapses every 4-5 years when his life becomes impossible. During his illness he needs to talk to me obsessively about his dreams of b
