Living in modern day cities and towns we don't notice small details. Neither do we take a break from our modern lives and look around us. By looking at objects closely, can we encourage people to look at details and take in their modern cities differently?
// ABOUT LOUIS FRENCH
I am a disabled artist in a wheelchair. My disability informs my interests as my physical view point changes every three years through different sizes of chairs.
In majority of my work I play with notions of perceptions. I challenge people about how they see the world and experience it. I enjoy giving people different experiences and different ways of looking at art. I wish I could manage to slow people down just for five minutes and changing their perspective about looking at the world. So I hope their view point will change as mine does.
