Into the void: exploring the experience of vision loss through visual art

Tandori, Erica Joan ( 2016)

This thesis explores a personal experience of vision loss caused by the onset of juvenile macular dystrophy, through the framework of a studio art practice. It asks, “What does vision loss look like?” or, more specifically, “what does macular dystrophy look like to me?” seeking to find those answers in the very arena where its impact is felt most – in the field of vision as it is experienced in everyday life, and through the very visually expressive language of art.
