It overloads all the senses and emotions—not just our intellectual capacity,” says David Walsh, founder of Hobart's Museum of New Art in The Australian Financial Review today. “As someone who was a kid who struggled with emotional expression, the sort of person that many people these days describe as autistic, art was a fascinating field that was unknown to me, and the more I explored it the more I realised I did not know.”
