I don’t really know. I’m a different you with different people. My interpretation of this is where I can be real you, and that’s when I’m with close friends but even then perhaps the real you is lost to me; and I’d have to search hard. What has made me is my experiences.

My past and an eye to the future. I try to focus on strength, equality, fitness and austerity. I wonder if I am lucky or that I just don’t pay attention to the bad things that happen. Ultimately I’ m waiting for the task that is too great….

At 3 and a half years old, during the 2nd world war, my first ‘conscious’ thought – “the world is mad!” as planes bombed a railways station near where I lived. Now, 2nd conscious thought, observing grown-ups, “they do not know what they are doing!” Now accept what happens, just let it be and often seeing the humour in what happens.

Find it hard to answer, feel that I maybe have a split personality another persona that is operating independently and I am just an observer, but this other person is not operating in my reality so I can’t fully understand what they are doing, maybe the type of person I wanted to be, had considered changing my name but maybe it takes more than that.

The need to do things for others no matter how big or small just to make their day better. The fact that I have big highs and lows which make me wildly enthusiastic or almost suicidal. The fact that I yearn for things that are clearly unattainable. The need to eat as much as possible thinking that it won’t affect the outer me because the skinny inner me should win but it never does.

There was once an anxious ball in my stomach which nearly killed me, that made me fear everything. It’s gone now but it has left a scare that makes me fear the unknown. I consider myself humorous though I lack confidence, although I think that I am very talented. I was once accused of fearing failure, but what I feared was success! I am moving forward now because I feel something has replaced that ball, a feeling I’d like to keep to myself. Appropriating images gives me the instant gratification that I can handle as an artist, I’ve tried painting…..it always changes and alters, that causes me frustration. I love the colour blue, the kinda blue that you see highlighting the ‘high beam’ in your car. My fears make me…..me.
