Hi All - I just looked at the Art Beyond Sight web site, and it is fantastic. I check back there frequently, but not often enough. I was especially interested in the fine art produced by Esref Armagan. I wish that I had been able to attend his reception when he had an exhibit recently. Does anyone know how he does it? I am a Mac user, and could not view the video on the site. Does he use raised-line drawings before adding pigments? This is what I would expect from the paintings. Does he have any useful light perception? Regards, Morty Heller

Dear colleagues, last night I had a telephone conversation with Joan Eroncel and asked her about Morty's email. She said Esref used to make raised line drawings before colouring his pictures. Now he adds the colours directly to the surfaces without the preliminary step of making the raised drawing . He has no useful light perception. Medical opinion is that he never had light sensitivity.
