Artist Simulation of RP Vision
This acrylic painting, created in the early 1980's, while retaining 8-10 degrees of central vision, simulates one of many RP visual experiences
through my life. In this illustration, I depict the scenario of "focusing on a person's eye" within a dimly lit restaurant. The colorful, wildly
moving, ever changing, blotches and pinpoints of light, may be the way my brain is perceiving those areas of lost vision. This unique visual
perception has been a part of my life since my earliest memories. In fact, at any time, with no effort, I can increase the number, color
intensity and activity level by simply focusing my attention on them. Today, the ever familiar "dance of light" remains, while the tiny island of
central vision has long disappeared.
