Story
Award winning film maker/animator, John Finn (was born deaf), recently became registered blind now using the computer technology to create art.
Deaf Explorer With his blindness, he realised that he is now unable to continue as a film maker and an animator and after much soul searching he found Art with the help of modern technology mainly using the touchscreen to magnify his work to a large scale in order to see his work. He cannot see details and colours so he creates patterns to express his emotions, his experiences from childhood memories as a sighted person and understanding around him.
