Chronic Pain Visual Arts Project

[tialia]

The Newspaper had a whole article about the Chronic Pain Visual Arts Project. Only people in chronic pain can contribute their work. The website is at: http://www.painexhibit.com

The artwork and written messages really hit home for me.

Wow those are some really good paintings. The torture one is really freaky. Chelsey

Did you see the one with the toilet? http://www.painexhibit.com/Themes/isolationandimprisonment.html Click on it and read the statement.

Now all they need is someone chained to it and that would be IC :toilet:

I wish I were an artist. It seems like a good outlet.

Yeah someone chained to the toilet would be a good one for IC. Chelsey

Thanks for the link to this exhibit.

The 'Portraits of Pain' are quite disturbing for the lack of a better word to describe it.

Thanks for the sight..... in a very weird since.. it actually helps to see these, because pain comes in many way shapes adn forms, physically and emotionally.... this is how they can express them selves.. and its a release of some form to them....

Thanks for the link. I especially liked Pieces of Me http://www.painexhibit.com/Themes/Original_Art/butnormcowan.html in the But You Look So Normal section. What struck me was all the phrases surrounding the images. I know I've heard some of those in the past.
