Cooking can be art and art nourishes, but what really connects the two for chef and artist Johnny Miller is the act of creation itself: "It's the physicality of it — both are directly related to your body and how your body moves. In cooking, you've got to touch things, touch hot and cold things. You've got to touch metal and wood so it keeps you in touch with being human and with the world around you," he says.
"That's what I love about drawing as well. It keeps you in touch with what you're thinking or not thinking or don't want to think."
Miller's working life seesaws between these two creative actions, as the owner and chef for a popular Spanish tapas bar for 10 years and as an artist whose work prods and pokes with his offbeat perspective.
