TESTIMONIALS
Comments made by the director for the charity RP Fighting Blindness:
'it’s good to know that teaching is being differentiated in this way. I have sat in lectures where no support was offered so it’s great to see the lengths that you went to to include the student so well.’
Comments were made by participants of the Open Lab residency project (August-September 2017):
'was fantastic to have the opportunity to discuss with a few professionals at the very tops of their fields.'
'gaining feedback from small group discussions is critical for the development of my work.'
'[my participation] proved to be insightful and very useful. I gained a better understanding of persons working in the area that are helping others who live with blind/visually impaired experiences live better / empowering lives – as well as – with the workshop led by X, it was an interesting approach and experience to broaden an understanding of even how the smallest of gestures can be helpful.'
'The main self-realisation was that as an artist I consider myself a very visual person, to lose my sight would be devastating as it would be for anyone however humans adapt, still create and enjoy art, talking to an artist who was losing their sight, a painter, I could empathise with the struggle of adapting to new skills and not enjoying their practice as they once had, but saw them inspired to continue practicing from another artist who had gone through the degenerative process many years previously.'
'As I am going through sight loss and feel that the art world is not for me as a blind person, he gave me the courage and inspiration that this is not so and you can still be creative and do art even though you do not have vision.'
