Note from Artist
This image represents individuality and independence. Those who are affected by mobilty impairments are no less unique than anyone else, and definitely not less creative, deserving or inspired. The kaleidoscope of wheelchairs conveys color, vitality, passion, and intrigue - the core elements of the human spirit.
Description of Art Work
The second piece in the three-part series is a composition of abstract wheelchairs. There are four blurry wheelchairs each facing a different direction with a different color overlay. The first wheelchair has a magenta overlay and faces to the right. The next chair is to the right of the first one. It has a blue overlay and faces downward. The third wheelchair is green and is placed beneath the blue one. It faces to the left and is upside down. The final chair is purple and is to the left of the green one and is also beneath the magenta one. It faces upward. The overall feel is a small, 2 x 2 grid of blurry wheelchairs, almost 'wheelchairs as art.' There is also some text on this 16" x 16" square. On the top left corner, in a sans serif gray font are the words, "Limited? Perhaps." And in the lower right corner are the words, "Boring? Never." The bottom phrase is in the same font treatment as the top section, but the word 'Never' is not gray, but bright magenta to emphasize the theme of the piece.
