Robert Ruby – The Mechanics of Meaning

‘‘The Mechanics of Meaning’ is an exhibition of mixed media art including many assemblages, and to varying degrees all works represent a personal post-concussive study of a decades-long journey through life with an ABI (Acquired Brain Injury). Also known as ‘The Invisible Injury’, for an ABI survivor to try and explain their new sense of normal to people can be compared to trying to nail a hunk of Jello to an orange tree; largely fruitless. That considered, the intention with ‘The Mechanics of Meaning’ is to ‘visually’ showcase the issues, experiences, challenges and the mechanics of navigating through life with an ABI.
