More about Edwyn Collins
Edwyn Collins’ legendary music history as one of the UK’s most respected
singer song- writers, runs from his early years as the founder of Glasgow’s
acclaimed indie rock outfit Orange Juice in the late 1970s and early 1980s,
to a long-standing solo career which continues into the present day.
Having suffered a life threatening brain hemorrhage in February 2005, Collins’
life was put on temporary hold. Affecting his main motor skills, speech
and walking, the priorities of survival dominated the next period of his life.
However, it was during the process of rehabilitation, and gradually regaining
his abilities, that Collins again re-found his love of illustration. Whilst speech,
playing music and mobility were taking their time to recover, Collins focused
his attentions on art. Re-learning to draw with his left hand, from October
2005 Collins has made one drawing, studiously, every day, each titled and
dated, and mapping this extraordinary process of recovery via art.
