Join photographer Martha Hoelzer of A Breath of Fresh Air Photography, for a virtual art opening of her exhibit, What Lies Beneath: Traumatic Brain Injury, Making the Invisible, Visible which is now physically on display in the ClearWater Arts Center's Greenway Gallery!
This exhibit explores the impact of brain injuries on the visual system. Martha will discuss her process, research and work with medical professionals on understanding & communicating the impact of a traumatic brain injury, or TBI (such as concussion) or acquired brain injury, or ABI (such as a tumor) on the visual system. She photographically examines the brain’s ability to interpret the environment from the patient’s perspective. Martha's unusual approach taken in the photos' special effects, is an effort that has already won her accolades for this exhibit. Martha will be the featured speaker, and then will engage Dr. Brett Miller, of Triangle Visions Optometry, to join her for a Q & A session to discuss questions that may arise about the visual impacts of a TBI and/or ABI.
This is a free event, but is limited to 300 guests (a wait list will appear after 300). Register here to secure your spot.
To hold you over until Wednesday, take a look at this short preview of the upcoming Art Show, What Lies Beneath: Traumatic Brain Injury.
