One moment can change the direction of your life forever.
For artist Jason Wilsher-Mills, that moment was exactly 44 years ago today. 54 minutes past 2pm on the first day of August in 1980. For athlete Sebastian Coe, it was the minute that he won gold and glory in the 1500-metre race at the Moscow Olympics.
For Jason Wilsher-Mills (@wilshermills), the artist behind our latest exhibition - ‘Jason and the Adventure of 254’ - it was the moment his parents were told of his autoimmune condition which could have killed him but instead set him on the path of becoming an artist.
