Check out this video on an ongoing collaborative research project focused on empowering people with disabilities–specifically with ALS paralysis–to make art using their eyesight. Incredible!

“Our truths speak adamantly when we are shocked by the reality of disease. They speak in image and sensate language: mythopoetic phrases, visual, auditory, or kinesthetic images, body sensations, fantasies, memories, deep silences, relentless darkness, numb emptiness. These languages can be experienced as fears and frighten us or as saviors and help us aim the direction and meaning of our healing process. The task is to be a creative detective in this land of imagery, art, and health.”
