“I have never been able to see 3-dimensionally the way most folks do because of my very poor eyesight. Working with a
neurobiologist specializing in optics, I created a style of drawing using rhythmic pulsations taken from the language of
optical illusions to intimate the world around us. Through it I present ‘seeing’ without seeing… This is all a metaphor for the
holes in our own perception and the deserts we must cross in order to fill them. As the viewer struggles with what is being
seen, questions about how the eye corresponds to reality are summoned.”

DESCRIPTION:
"Nightmare is an India ink drawing in black and white. At first glance, it seems like a series of disconnected black shapes and lines on a white background. Looking at the drawing from a distance, though, reveals a sleeping woman emerging from the black lines.
A woman sleeps at the top of the picture, and her mirror image is reflected and broken up into little pieces below her. Surrounding the woman are silhouettes of plants, insects and animals. These plants and creatures hide between the lines and watch the woman sleep." -A. Laura Brody
