ReThink Recovery
SOLO EXHIBIT at Lakeshore Art Gallery November 7 – December 2, 2017.

Four years in the making, ReThink Recovery is a 20-piece visual art exhibition that chronicles in real-time the guideposts I created along my journey of recovery from a concussion. According to medicine, I continue to live in-between the spaces of diagnosis and cure, still waiting to be "recovered". Through evolving interactive components, this show invites visitors to witness, feel and experience recovery as a multi-faceted evolving process, rather than as a static end goal. It invites participants to question: what is lost and what is gained when we let go of perfect?
 
This show is fully accessible: including wheelchair access, audio description, live guided tours (select times), touch and multi-sensory components and interactive workshop experiences – allowing for audiences to experience the art in multiple ways.
