Read the full article, Some People Can't See Mental Images. The Consequences are Profound by Larissa MacFarquhar, linked below.
The New Yorker recently reached out to Sheri Paisley regarding her condition of aphantasia - the loss of the ability to visualize images - which was caused by a stroke when she was only 29 years old, and how she learned to cope and create art despite this loss. Paisley's story is part of an engrossing, multi-profile article concerning the absence of mental images and how those affected experience and remember their lives.
Copies of the article are found in the November 3, 2025 issue of The New Yorker. Paisley's works are viewable in gallery or online.
