This web resource is about blindness and painting. It features a documentary called “The Terry Fragments”, which depicts blind painter Terry Hopwood-Jackson’s painting process. After becoming blind, Terry has developed a unique painting process and style, which allows him to execute all stages by himself, apart from mixing the colours. He uses plasticine to create the outlines and textures, which he then paints and varnishes. One painting may take him several weeks to several months, depending on how motivated and inspired he is.
In this podcast by disability charity RIIVE, Darren Gormley interviews Catalin Brylla about the relationship between documentary and disability, visual impairment, representation, creativity and artistic expression.
