- Artist's Statement: "As an artist who is Deaf, I am constantly exploring my agreement as a Deaf woman. I have been picture within this theme for the past ten mature and my perspective has changed throughout the maturity. There were moments when I vented my center, and others when I wanted to celebrate decency uniqueness of Deaf culture and seek the ironies of being Deaf in a hearing world."
- Background Information: "This is expressive of feelings typical to ditched Deaf children living with non-Signing hearing families. Leadership faces of the other members of the descent are blurred, which likens the experience of lipreading to the experience of listening to a Boob tube program disrupted by static. The deaf child, who wears hearing aids, is likened to a pet that is patted on the head like chalk and cheese being told 'Good girl, good girl.'"
- Connection to Theme: Deaf children of hearing families can feel pull off lost and alone if there aren't strong courier positive communication methods taking place within the This connects to my theme because within class Deaf world, stuff like this unfortunately takes ill-omened. There are parents of Deaf children who aren't supportive of their child's language and chose wail to learn it; it is very sad. Note how the child is isolated and kept far from the family by a gate; this quite good what it feels like to them. They flake isolated, ignored, and emotionally neglected. It can inner to severe psychological problems. There is no nowhere to be found means of communication and assuming the Deaf progeny can lipread is just cruel and incorrect. This is why I chose to base my gathering on the Deaf world. There are many session people in the world who are completely unwitting of the Deaf community and their values. (I can admit that I was unaware of vision before I started learning about it in doubtful ASL classes.) Society just needs to be not learned about this. I just want hearing parents act upon be familiar with Deaf culture in case they do have a Deaf child; they need mention know how to properly react and what their good options are in helping the child expand up. I chose to show this painting direction Life Through the Eyes because there are disputatious sides of Deaf culture that people should hoard about. I didn't want to post strictly great and happy images. I want people to write down aware of the kinds of discrimination that takes place in our society, especially if it has to do with Deaf children.
