Hello all,
Happy new year everyone! Sorry for starting in English, I moved here last week and although I’m learning German it is not great yet. My name is Phelim and I am a Dutch/Irish visual artist. I got diagnosed with MS in March of 2011 because I was having problems with my eyes. After the diagnoses the work I was making changed drastically. Fear and mortality became the main themes I started researching.
At this moment I’m working on a project that researches the relationship I have with my body and how the disease influences my identity. I’m doing this at an Artist in Research (ABA Alexanderplatz). For part of this project I work and talk with other MS patients like myself. This would be a very big letter if I tried to explain it all in detail so I will spare you the read. If I have intrigued you I would love to explain it further in detail over a coffee. You can send an e-mail to info@phelim-hoey.nl or start a conversation here. Really hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Phelim Hoey
