Welcome to The Art of Blindness, a mini series of the ⁠⁠⁠Shape Arts Podcast⁠⁠⁠ from blind artist and winner of our 2025 ⁠⁠⁠Adam Reynolds Award⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠David Johnson⁠⁠⁠.

In this four part series, David invites us into the world of the lived experience of blindness and his art making practice. With the help of invited guests, he will be exploring the day-to-day experience of living as a blind person, and how this can give rise to the impulse to make art.

This podcast is based on the assertion that visual impairment gives people privileged access to an altered sensory framework, or aesthetic, that affords access to new worlds.

In the fourth and final episode of his series, David reflects on his own artwork and its influences, as well as the importance of collaboration, speaking with his assistant Emma Dickson.

This series was produced and edited by Ian Rattray.

You can find out more about the Adam Reynolds Award programme, for which this series was commissioned, ⁠⁠⁠over on our website.⁠⁠⁠

David Johnson is a blind artist who, through his creative practice, intends to challenge assumptions about blindness and disability, demonstrating the potential they have to contribute positively and creatively to our shared culture.
