Images and Thoughts

David Alan Feingold Gallery

 

 

David Alan Feingold is a doctoral student in disability studies at National-Louis University, "a school social worker by profession and an artist by necessity." The images on this page reflect as well David's experiences with closed head injury, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. They are made available on Serendip as contributions to further conversation about human diversity, brain and behavior, mental health, and disabilities and cultural evolution.

Your thoughts are important contributions to this gallery. Click on any image for an enlargement, together with an on-line forum where you can add whatever thoughts that image triggers in you, and then read and respond to the thoughts of others. More general thoughts about the gallery are welcome in the on-line forum below.

More about the gallery and the artist

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 11:52am.
This exhibit is designed to encourage visitors to respond directly to the images, and then to use those responses, both their similarities and their differences, as part of continuing conversation about disabilities and how they are/should be dealt with in our culture. An additional important part of the conversation is the artist's own sense of what the images are about, and the context in which they were created. After posting your own responses to the individual images, see Background for David's thoughts about the images and their creation. And then post here whatever thoughts all this triggers in you about what "diabilities" mean, and how we might think differently about them.

My favorite is "Eye in Eye Strengths". Great comment to this work was made by jrlewis: "Mirrors and reflection. Playing with the relationship between parts and the whole."
