 Arts, Lies and Videotapes
Alison Jones is an artist whose work has been exhibited alongside Damien Hirst and Anish Kapoor. What makes her unusual is that Alison is blind. She began life as a painter, but the progressive loss of her sight has spurred her to other means of expression. She’s been commissioned by Tate Liverpool to create a piece involving smell. This follows an earlier work using sound. In ‘Arts, Lies and Videotapes’ she sat in a room in the city’s Blue Coat Gallery and asked people to describe her. The result she turned into an audio piece.
