Chain-Reaction is a collection of mixed media work by Alice Marie Perreault that was triggered from a cascade of neurological events, resulting in severe brain damage to her newborn. When nothing was available to reverse the devastating outcome, Perreault began teaching herself about the neurological, physiological and psychological aspects of this altered state of being.
Perreault’s art practice was simultaneously impacted by this domino.
Yellow Sweater is made from suction catheters and yellow fibers. If I tell you this is a yellow sweater repeatedly, you will eventually stop thinking for yourself and believe me. This repetition has a validity effect and is used often in dogma as a way to control. It was used abusively during the height of stem cell research that was progressing at a rate making doctors expect to see rooted help within the decade, for those with brain injuries and other neurological disorders, like Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson's, Alzheimers and ALS and others. Instead, the research was dismantled. This method for manipulation continues to be used today."
