I am a visual artist with parallel interests in access and multisensory practices in museums. Since 2012 I have been experimenting with the iPad. An aspect of my research focuses on color relations as they appear on the backlit digital screens.
My work in museums combines elements of verbal description, participatory discussions, performance interventions, sound pieces, touch tours and story-telling. In 2014 I initiated “Seeing with the Senses,” a Benaki Museum access program for visitors who are blind or partially sighted. I have also designed such programs for the Selis Manor Center and the New York Public Library in NYC, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center and the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens.
In 2012 I received a Fulbright grant and was hosted by the New York Public Library to explore the connections between art and low vision. While in NYC I had many opportunities to contribute to NYPL initiatives and services for patrons who are blind or have low vision.
My pictorial drawings have been published in the journal Leonardo (MIT Press), the NYPL blogs and other popular news and culture websites.
