Toyah is someone who I feel I can really warm to. I am coming from a different direction but I feel that a wall of incomprehension can often stand between us and relating to those around us - possibly Toyah's rebellious perspective! My schizophrenia has dislocated me from the society of others, so I use photography instead of words. This Restorative Relaxation video is a result of my work in isolation which you will maybe enjoy.
