Gaelle Chassery, Woolly Brain, 2024
Gaelle Chassery is a sensory artist who enjoys creating interactive tactile pieces to explore the reframing of simple joys as tools for healing through presence. Her work invites recontextualization of objects and experiences: connecting to ourselves and nature via the senses to rediscover what it means to welcome embodied living.
As a neurodivergent maker living with long-term illness, disabilities and c-PTSD, creating art anchors her through the days and provides an accessible way to participate in the world. Making gives her a space to regulate, process, explore and heal by maintaining connection to her inner and outer environments. It is her hope that by sharing what she makes, she can provide a healing space for others.
