Threads of Colour Intertwined

I first realised my artistic inclination during the mid-1990s when I had hit extremely difficult times in my personal life. My head was truly mangled by all kinds of experiences, some of which had been completely out with my control. At one stage, apart from the influence of ‘substances’, I had become practically agoraphobic. I was far too nervous and mistrusting to seek professional help at that time and, instead, chose to absorb myself in making chokers and friendship bracelets using embroidery thread. Although I was very often under the influence of cannabis while working with the threads, I found I gained a real therapy through working with colours and enjoyed watching them intertwine to form beautiful patterns.

Like many newly discovered ‘hobbies’, it fell by the way side for many years. In autumn last year, however, I rediscovered the pleasure and self-help therapy of art after I had been to my GP and commenced my road to recovery from substance misuse with the help of medication and professional support.

It is my belief that colours are God-given for us to enjoy.
