An artist's work - autobiographical or not - is a reflection of where they are in their life at any given moment. And so over time the collection becomes a kind of map, that traces the twists and curves of an ever-evolving through-line of inspiration and introspection. Musician Joe Sumner takes a brief break from his tour to reflect on his music career, and the interwoven intersections of his life and his art.
