Artist Spotlight: Elizabeth Jameson

Following Elizabeth Jameson’s recent show in our gallery, we’d like to feature these excerpts from one of her essays, published in the New York Times Opinion section. Read the full essay here!

Elizabeth Jameson is an artist and writer who explores what it means to live in an imperfect body as part of the universal human experience. After her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Jameson began using her MRIs to create art as a way of reclaiming agency over her own medical data.

She transformed the unsettling, clinical images into work that invites people to open up conversations about what it means to have an illness or disability. Her work is part of permanent collections worldwide, including the National Institutes of Health, major universities, and medical schools.
