...MoreDawn-joy has enjoyed an eclectic career, spanning almost two decades and residing in different countries, as an educationist with an interest in special education, published author of educational material, concert producer, event organizer, translator of art publications, singer-songwriter, and interdisciplinary performance artist. Her most recent work was "Scheherazade’s Sea – a mixed media, multi-sensory installation and performance," which premiered in April 2010 at the University of Hong Kong. Dawn-joy is currently a Ph.D (Fine Arts) candidate at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts, Australia. Her ongoing research focus is in the influence of sensory and cognitive idiosyncrasies inherent in Autism Spectrum Condition, the semiotics of art in the realm of hypersensitivity and cognitive anomaly, how these influence the creative process, and how autobiographical, empirical research and art practice may contribute to developing mutually empathic states and communication between neurotypical and neurodiverse worlds.
