Liz Levey | Between Worlds
Opening Reception: Thursday 23rd February, 7 – 9pm
This is an exhibition of paintings where Liz Levey explores and hopes to raise awareness around the distress ‘Acquired Brain Injury/ Stroke and Non-verbal Autism’ can cause to families and homelife. The working of the brain is so complicated and so intricate we take all it manages for granted when everything is working right. Brain responses are connected to the heart and soul of the body. When one part gets damaged it affects every other part: movement, speech, emotions. These are just words. You cannot see any of them or notice but if one does not work properly, it has so many implications to fitting into society. This work is informed by parts of Liz’s own life highlighting the isolation, loneliness and sometimes overwhelming fear that accompanies medical expertise. Working through trauma is an uncharted part of life. No one gets through it without support. We are all caretakers of each other.
