B. 1964

Erica Tandori is a legally blind artist, academic and public speaker with a PhD from the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. Since being diagnosed with a form of macular dystrophy (a degenerative form of vision-loss) in her first year of art school, Erica has devoted her art making and research to an examination of what it means to experience living with vision loss.

Through exploring the relationship between sight, vision and desire, Erica's paintings are not just skillful renditions of the world outside, but press us to question: is there more to life than meets the eye? 

Erica has exhibited across Australia and internationally, including the Cambridge Festival, UN AI for Good and Berlin Falling Walls. Her artworks have appeared on the covers of Nature Immunology, Nature Cancer and the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
