Exhibition Torrance York: Semaphore; A Journey through Parkinson’s, Opens at New Canaan Library’s Lightburn Gallery
Torrance York: Semaphore; A Journey through Parkinson’s, is a vibrant exploration of the artist’s creative journey after a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) nine years ago. The exhibition opens in New Canaan Library’s Lightburn Gallery with a reception and gallery talk with Ms. York and the curator, Arianne Kolb. All are welcome; please register to attend.
After her diagnosis, York's photography underwent a shift in perspective and process. On the one hand, York’s photographs have provided her with coping mechanisms and, on the other, a way to communicate her challenges and observations to others. The result is an illuminating and inspirational body of work that engages the viewer to perceive mundane yet wondrous objects with a new lens that may be relatable to many.
