SAM BATLEY
I arrived in Liverpool on the 2nd of September 2019, with a bag. Feeling scared mixed into a nervous sense of relief I walked over to the dock from Liverpool One Bus Station to have a look at the water. I’d been falling for years and finally landed. PJ Smith met me shortly after, the recovery lead at Damien John Kelly house, a recovery living centre for men in Wavertree that bases recovery around the arts, sport and culture. I was their new resident, this is the pivot point of my life, the boundary between before and after. One side addiction, the other recovery. Creativity is the thread that has joined them together.
