Memory and Light – Explorations of a Multisensory Landscape is a solo exhibition by esteemed, legally blind artist Erica Tandori. Inspired by an encounter with J.M.W Turner’s sublime oil paintings, these works push for an experience of the Australian landscape beyond just sight. Composed from memory, sound and her perceptual experience of low vision, they are made to be touched and felt – evocations of what is revealed when the retina falters. 

“My vision loss has made me more attentive to touch, sound and memory, but I don’t think blindness alone explains the work. Being an artist also means paying attention to experience and finding a form for it.”

Memory and Light was created with support from Creative Australia through the Arts and Disability Initiative. Tactile interpretation, raised-line imagery, audio description and large print labels will be available for blind, low-vision and sighted audiences.
