Home is as old as one's skin but as elusive as an object seen
through the wrong end of a telescope. It is this sense of a view,
skewed, intangible, which echoes throughout Karen Lazar's
Hemispheres. Waking in hospital after a post-operative stroke, she
finds one side of her body paralysed and her world knocked out of
kilter. Spatial, perceptual and subjective changes force her to
view her new life in facets. The fragmented view is made apparent
by means of a triptych of clusters which charts Karen's experience
from Metamorphosis, through rehabilitation and adaptation. Quietly
reflective, deeply lyrical, Hemispheres is concerned with returning
separated parts into a whole and coming home to the self.
Hemisphere will appeal to health care workers, like
physiotherapists, OTs, neurologists, social workers, psychologists
and others who deal with stroke patients and those who have had to
deal with debilitating and incapacitating illnesses and conditions
as well as anyone who has undergone a stroke, major surgery or any
life changing and debilitating event which has affected the way
they react to themselves and the world around them. It is a title
for family and friends of stroke patients, survivors of
debilitating physical changes.
