Chloe Pascal Crawford

Statement
Through a multidisciplinary practice, I examine policies within healthcare, technology, emergency planning, architecture, and other nameable systems which make public life both possible and impossible for disabled people. I consider disability broadly, as a lens to view power structures that affect us all. Central to my practice is a conceptual and physical embrace of lowness as a site of care and attention, critiquing what gets elevated and rejecting the pressure to be upright. My work is displayed in relation to my seated-perspective, inviting those who are “up there” to look diagonally across traditional hierarchies. Water serves as a recurring motif; it’s an environment of awe where our bodies move differently and get re-oriented. Water is the ultimate site of lowness, the place where lowness goes deep.
