I have always considered myself as being art and craft-challenged, although early in primary school I remember answering, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ with the words ‘an artist’. This flew in the face of the fact that I was neither good at, nor particularly interested in art. In Grade 6, I slaved over a stuffed toy that became affectionately known as the ‘elephant with one leg’. In high school, art classes were something to be endured rather than enjoyed, especially under the dubious tutorage of Mr Meerkin who was actually a graphic designer and liked our collage trees to be odd shades of purple and yellow rather than the more traditional green and brown.
