Hot Cripple #22/November 2017- George Redhawk

11/16/2017

This "Hot Cripple" Series is an experiment; an effort to bring attention to the fact that Disability isn't necessarily synonymous with Ugly- as in Ugly Laws, which proliferated this country for over a century.

This month we feature George RedHawk a.k.a. DarkAngelØne

Redhawk worked as a medical professional prior to his vision loss. After, he discovered a passion for visual art. His work, which he calls "Metamorphic Animation" is a presentation of how he experiences the world.
In an exclusive interview with Witness This (which has some great examples of his work), he said-

“Every person who is visually impaired has their own unique issues with what they can and cannot see (vision being so complex)”, George told me, “I am fortunate that with the help of visual aides, functions and softwares found in computers to help the visually impaired, I’m able to function online pretty well. The computer is an environment that can be controlled, size, lighting, contrasts, etc. can be adjusted to suit my needs, my morphing software has a magnification box, without this feature, none of this would be possible. I can pretty much control the 2 feet in front of my face in a computerized world, but the real world? Not so easy.”

It seems that Redhawk (who  insists that he is not an artist but, "someone who just likes to play with pictures") would rather let his art speak for itself, so we will let it do just that...
