SEE/SAW-Works By Maia Scott

I was at the San Francisco Library for the Blind and Print Disabled which located on the 2nd floor of the Main Library. They have an exhibit called SEE/SAW which are works of art done by Maia Scott. Scott, is an artist who has been visually impaired from birth. She takes the view that everybody sees regardless of visual acuity, many factors such as race, loves, cultures, fears, etc., factor into what we see. This interactive exhibit was one of the best I have ever seen:

"Open Peace"

One thing that is really cool is that Scott invites people to trace the pieces with their fingers to explore them.

"Centered"

"Eye Device"

She also invites people to write down what they see and feelings about the pieces

"Heartspace"

"Cosmic Dance"

"Squared"-There are over 100 positive words in panels as you match them up-Pretty Cool

"Spiralight"

"Through Lines"-Put on the goggles and draw a self-portrait and be sure to note the lines and colors you see through them

This was an interactive maze that has to do with light (above and below):

And my favorite:

"Greater Purpose"-It is mixed media and it filled with positive messages about life

Maia Scott really did a great job with all the pieces. It is super cool to take a look at.
