Ophthalmology Series
The four pieces above were created from OCTs and other special retinal imaging from Bascom Palmer, which were then colored and painted by me into pieces of contemporary art,
Metamorphopsia: Buildings imitating the visual waves of Wet Macular Degeneration
Tint Loss: With and Without Scotomas (partial details of large art pieces)
Please ask for full images and complete series.
The Ophthalmology Series by Tracy Ellyn addresses some of the visual effects of debilitating eye diseases, for the purpose of bringing inspiration, awareness and early intervention to those either directly or indirectly affected by it. Thus far, the series has been published in England and the USA.
In the past, there was no hope for wet macular degeneration, which is different from the more common dry macular degeneration. In essence, you were told you will go blind. In the past few years only, this has changed by allowing injections into the eyeball.
The pieces in this series are not medical illustrations. Rather, they are fine art interpretations of visual experiences with these ophthalmology conditions.
