Statement
My work challenges the socially constructed norms in architecture, for profit healthcare, austerity, medical violence, and mass production. Standards that physically perpetuate and replicate the structural prejudices of society towards people considered “abnormal,” and how society devalues those outside of the “norm”. Those who cannot walk are segregated from participating and existing in most built environments. My work creates a forced perspective so that inaccessibility and austerity are legible to those temporarily spared from it.
Disability
I have a T9 L2 spinal cord injury, am incompletely paralyzed using a wheelchair, have CRPS a debilitating immune neurological disease that's the most painful in the world. I have PTSD. Am visually impaired. I was also recently diagnosed with lyme, pots, eds, autism, and MCAS.
