ABOUT TUCKER STILLEY
Almost 20 years ago, multimedia artist Tucker Stilley was diagnosed with ALS/MND (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Now fully paralyzed, he uses his eyes to control his computer and create art at a dizzying pace. Today, Tucker teams up with his documentary filmmaker sister Kate Stilley Steiner to present two new print series in Second Life. The exhibit takes place on Virtual Ability’s Cape Able Island, a corner of the online virtual world designed to support disabled people and their communities. Venture into a virtual world to explore the art of Tucker Stilley – what the LA Times describes as breathtaking images of the frailty and strength of the human condition.
SIGN UP HERE to join guided tours of Tucker Stilley’s work in Second Life Wednesdays in April & May, 5:00 pm – 7:00pm PT.
