On this episode of Art Beat… When you break a leg, you go to the doctor and they put a cast on it. Everyone can see that you have a cast on and they know that you have a broken leg. It is obvious that you have been hurt and are now healing. Sometimes people can have mental or emotional injuries or issues that they are dealing with as well but that isn’t so obvious. In addition, there can often be a negative stigma surrounding mental illness. Local photographer Joy Davis Ripley’s new photo exhibit titled “Visible/invisible: Life With Mental Illness” seeks to dispel the stigma surrounding mental illness by making what is often invisible visible. Joy’s project involves her subjects describing their experience with mental illness in their own words and then she worked with them to create portraits to illustrate those feelings and experiences.
