John Bramblitt of Denton, Texas, lost his vision 13 years ago due to
complications with epilepsy and plunged into a deep depression, feeling
disconnected from the world around him.
He found a new way to express his experience of the world around him in painting however.
Bramblitt learned to distinguish between different coloured paints by feeling their textures with his fingers, taught himself how to paint using raised lines and harnessed haptic visualization, enabling him to "see" his subjects through touch.
