Arts: Diary Drawings

Bobby Baker

In thirty five years as an artist Bobby Baker has, amongst other things, danced with meringue ladies, opened her kitchen to the public and been driven around the streets of London on the back of a truck shouting through a megaphone. She has cured thousands of 'pea patients' in her public performances. More recently her 'diary drawings' have charted 10 years of acute mental illness from which she has now recovered.
