ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the work of Jon Adams an artist who attributes some of his creativity and features of his work to his experiences of Asperger's, Synaesthesia and Dyslexia. It explores Adams's work and the disability aesthetic it creates. By introducing Adams's work, the chapter presents his work a positive and provocative place in geographical imaginaries and geographical considerations of aesthetics. Adams geological background influences his current work, where he uses what he refers to as a form of Autobiostratigraphy to document events and explore layers of his personal experience in the temporal and morphological landscape. Adams's latest art work includes video and sound installations as well as visual art work in the form of biostratigraphy and glass cabinet installations which are reminiscent of geological museum collections full of fossils that he has collected and labelled from his life history and his travels.
