Drawing from personal experiences with ADHD\, Chris Beaty’s work reflects the way images\, memories\, and observations collide and overlap within the mind. Layered compositions\, abrupt shifts in imagery\, and moments of visual disruption mirror the instability of attention and the complexity of contemporary image culture. Through a collage-like approach to painting and drawing\, the work embraces fragmentation as both a limitation and a generative force. \nArtist Website: chrisbeatyart.com URL:/event/fractured-attention-guest-artist-chris-beaty-2/ LOCATION:Robert F.

Alongside her friends and co-workers\, she finds independence and camaraderie in the factory until mysterious illnesses begin to surface. As their health declines\, the women uncover the devastating truth about the radium they were told was safe. \nWhat follows is a gripping fight for justice against a powerful corporation determined to silence them. Even as their bodies weaken\, their resolve strengthens. Refusing to be dismissed or forgotten\, Catherine and her friends challenge a system that views them as expendable\, transforming personal tragedy into a landmark battle for workers’ rights and corporate accountability. \nBoth intimate and sweeping\, These Shining Lives is a deeply moving testament to friendship\, love\, and the enduring power of ordinary people to create extraordinary change. Their story continues to resonate\, reminding us that even in the face of injustice\, the human spirit can shine brilliantly.
