New art exhibition by Sense Scotland.

Sense Scotland has been working for over 20 years with children and adults who have communication support needs because of deaf, blindness, sensory impairment, learning and physical disabilities.  Working closely with people, often on a one-to-one basis, their aim is to find out what their aspirations are and how they want to live their lives.

The exhibition, entitled ‘Interface’ (the surface or point where two things touch), is a body of artwork produced by Jemima Chillingworth and 16 Individuals during an 18 month residency with Sense Scotland.  The remit on this residency has been for an Artist to develop a programme for disabled people in the Northeast while at the same time developing their own artwork and practice. Jemima Chillingworth was employed by Sense Scotland in April 2006 to work with service users who have sensory impairment, learning and physical disabilities in varying degrees. This exhibition explores the point where our senses meet and collaborate in creating a unique and individual perception of the world.

This is a wonderfully varied exhibition and well worth making a visit to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to view.
