"I took your work to show some prisoners."
This was actually a big compliment. I was doing a night class in printmaking and the tutor also volunteered teaching offenders inside prison. I was really pleased because firstly I think art can be really healing. I'd love everyone to be doing art if they want to, especially people with limited options.
Secondly, I have wondered if this sample of my artwork might have been an example of "don't worry what it turns out like, just do it" - lol, but that's also something I want to tell everyone. Any art of any standard - writing, dance, photography, visual art, whatever - heals. Don't criticise it, just do it!
