Kim Percy
Kim Percy is a contemporary visual artist whose practice centers on exploring dyslexia and neurodiversity through visual art. Her work translates neurological difference into visual and spatial forms, creating exhibitions and installations that make aspects of neurodivergent perception and processing visible to audiences. By examining how dyslexic and neurodivergent individuals experience cognition and learning differently, Percy challenges conventional understandings of these processes and presents alternative ways of perceiving and processing information.
Artistic Approach
Percy’s methodology involves mapping the internal experiences of dyslexia onto external visual structures. She utilizes abstract forms, typography, and spatial arrangements to represent the non-linear nature of dyslexic thought. This approach aims to bridge the gap between neurotypical and neurodivergent perspectives, allowing viewers to engage with the sensory and cognitive realities of dyslexia without relying solely on textual explanation.
Public Engagement
Beyond gallery exhibitions, Percy extends her practice through public talks and educational workshops. These engagements serve to demystify neurodiversity and foster greater public awareness of dyslexic cognition. Her presentations often combine artistic demonstration with discussion, encouraging audiences to reconsider their assumptions about learning, intelligence, and perception.
