The title comes from a pop song but also relates to Samuel Becket’s play ‘Erewhon’ which is of course nowhere backwards.
The original drawing was made in 1990 when I was in Mayday Hospital in Croydon after an operation to remove a malignant melanoma.
Whilst in the hospital I drew eight drawings as I prepared to leave my mark on the world if I did not survive the operation. As it happened I endured 25 days before I was given the all clear.
From that moment I lived life day by day. The picture shows a night view of my 1934 Armstrong Siddeley headlights blazing coming down the road to a crossroads with a signpost with four directions all reversed.
