In Between and Unbound Painting

As a deaf artist, I try to tell my story and perspective through my paintings. This piece is about my experience living between the deaf world and the other world where people can hear. I always feel like I am ‘in-between’ these two worlds. I am still learning and always trying to continue using Auslan - it really has opened up my world and my life in many ways. This painting is about shutting out and taking a break from the hearing world - the person depicted doesn’t have a mouth, which is a way for me to explain how I am feeling about taking that break. Often I find because I speak reasonably well and people can understand what I am saying, there is a misconception that I can hear well also and this is not necessarily true. I prefer to use Auslan and have a much greater understanding when am being communicated to using Auslan. You don’t need to speak to get your point across, Auslan is an amazing way to communicate and an incredibly visual language, hence the focus on the eye in this painting.
