Bailee Lobb’s new exhibition In Bathing, Bask considers how spaces can act as a supportive environment for stimming, sensory processing and soothing the nervous system.
Disabled artist Bailee describes living with a highly sensitised central nervous system like ‘living with the volume turned up on all your sensory inputs’ – everything is too loud, too busy, too much. She has created a series of undulating textile spaces for Toi Pōneke Gallery, transforming it into a stimulatory playground for interactive fun, sensory play, and self-regulation.
