THE RESULTS (2022) – 30 CM X 50 CM – ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS (DIPTYCH)
I was first diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2003, completely out of the blue, after a random blood cholesterol test. They told me my kidneys were working at 30%. I didn’t understand what this meant at the time.
As a young person, I was fortunate not to have any symptoms throughout my illness, I lived a pretty normal life and socialised with my friends as someone my age would. I would see the consultant nephrologist twice a year and he would explain how the kidney function was reduced, but gratefully, I felt ok.
