[accessibleimage] Question about art movement

Hi,
Was wondering about something.

Elizabeth Goldring uses the ophthalmoscope as a medium for artist expression. I was having a discussion a bit back with an artist about using an embosser to create art. Isn't this a new trend? Using tools that are specifically meant for the visually impaired to create visual and tactile art? Of course I know there are many visually impaired artist but aren't these tools untraditional in the sense that they haven't been used for that purpose before?

Any thoughts about this?

Regards,
Lisa
