MICHAEL VAN HUFFEL: Body Shadows
In 2008, Michael Van Huffel was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis, a debilitating yet poorly-understood neuromuscular disease. What followed were eight years of isolation and many experimental treatments. Among other issues, he struggled with feeling distorted, as if his body was betraying him. What was once a healthy, active lifestyle for the artist had become a constant flow of pain and sickness. Van Huffel’s therapist suggested photography as a means of self-examination, allowing Van Huffel the opportunity to contend with and accept how his body was changing. The artist began photographing his shadow as a metaphor for the bodily distortion he was experiencing but as he continued the process, he also found himself more willing to look at and accept the body he was living in. Michael Van Huffel is an award-winning photographer, animator and musician. After attending Berklee College of Music, his creative career began when working for the musician Prince as an in-house graphic artist at Paisley Park, and later as Art Director. He went on to work in Hollywood as a Creative Director, also designing motion art for movie titles and trailers. He is now an artist whose ongoing creative work is informed by living with chronic illness.
Exhibition: January 15 - August 9, 2024
