Chris Miller “Me As Venus”
Art is a healer, and a unifier. Retired teacher Chris Miller started making art after a stroke. As he states:
After having a stroke nine years ago I started going to Headway East London, a charity for brain-injured people like me. I went into the art studio there and Michelle, the manager, said that I could come in any time. I replied that I didn’t do art, as I was told at secondary school that I wasn’t any good at it, but she is quite persuasive, and I still do art today. It has become an important part of how see myself. I am an artist – an outsider or art brut artist perhaps – but an artist nonetheless. Making art has been a key part of how I have come to terms with my new identity after having a stroke. It has been for me a physical and mental therapy, or a “discovery through art”, to quote the motto of Headway’s art studio, Submit to Love.
