Hambling says she has been able to adapt to injury – and saw funny side when her plumber asked if her work was now half-price
Maggi Hambling’s morning routine involves making one drawing with her non-dominant left hand as soon as she gets up – a practice that has come in particularly useful lately, after having her little finger on her right hand amputated.
“On November the 17th, I fell down the stairs, and I had a glass in my hand. And it’s cut through the hand and cut through the little finger,” she told the audience at Charleston festival in East Sussex, holding up her four-fingered hand.
