BLOODLINES (2022)
£60.00
Limited edition signed A3 prints (1/50 in total)
I painted this portrait because I wanted to show a personal, vulnerable side to me and my Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) journey. It’s taken from a reference photo that I took on one of my first dialysis sessions in the hospital in 2021. It was an emotional time for many reasons, I felt scared, bewildered, exhausted and sad but also relieved to be getting the treatment as it would make me feel better over time.
When I got home after the first few sessions, I burst into tears as soon as I saw my wife. It was not only exhausting on my body, I felt emotionally drained, especially with travelling 90 minutes each way to Oxford from Swindon and having the 4-hour dialysis sessions 3 times per week.
