The “space between” for a young man injured in an innocent enough activity might be expressed in the question -” how much longer will I be in this state?” These drawings are interpretations of an x-ray taken in a large city hospital where I have represented the healing compound fracture, the illiolazi frame and the psychological impact on this young man’s life. There are no reds or colours in an x-ray but I have used red and white ink to represent what I sensed this young man might be feeling as he lies in a hospital bed waiting for his leg to heal. [The graphite on white paper drawing on the right has been bought by RBWH Department of Medical Imaging.]
