Life in Pictures: a visual diary by Mike Barrett
In November 1996 I was told I had cancer in my right kidney (the kidney was removed - and I'm ok now thanks). I started making a picture every day. Each pastel and collage picture is 20cm square. At first the pictures were therapeutic and about processes going on (or imagined to be going on) in my body. Slowly the subject-matter broadened to include details of my experiences, relationships, ideas and images of the cosmos. I stopped in 2003 after completing more than 2000 images.
