VISUAL ART <--back to visual art main Sensing an alteration… (2022) There is an interesting frisson when different mediums and concepts collide. Working from photo documentation taken by artist Miklos Legrady of a moment in my week-long performance residency for FADO, A Cellu(h)er Resistance: A Body with/out Organs?, I digitally alter and overlay photo images with drawings I made of a trio of geese that visited my cottage for table scraps every morning in Ireland. One of the geese had an impairment which made her walking pattern unique. Both moments/images have stayed with me. As a disability artist with mobility issues, I now live with a traumatic brain injury, beside a cemetery, away from my country community, and am daily assaulted by living-in-the-city noise. Issues around boundaries, borders, edges, and how I might perceive these also arise. Drawing, photography, and performance record this correspondence. I sense there is an alteration and reach for it.
