Performance artwork by Isabelle Gardner.
First performative experimentation, leading to ‘Do you see me now?’ short film including performance.
October 2023.
I am situated on the floor of the art building foyer, with one A3 piece of paper next to me and five crayons to draw with. I use two mins to draw with these crayons, each colour representing a different kind of ‘pain’ that I experience with my disability (which causes me daily, chronic pain) the concept of this performance was to reveal my hidden illness to an able-bodied eye.
