Current Exhibition
Lidwina: Years 1-4
July 12th-November 26th
Just like every superhero (and villain) has an origin story, every person with a chronic illness has a diagnosis tale. Sometimes they are long, painful, and wrought with missteps before the final verdict. Sometimes they are abrupt and definitive. I fall into the second category of my grossly over-generalized scale. I had a weird symptom, saw my general practitioner, was sent to a neurologist, had an MRI, and then I had Multiple Sclerosis.
Artist Sheila Talblitzer's work explores the hurdles she has encountered in reconciling her diagnosis through the art of quiltmaking, embroidery, and photography.
