A cotton quilt with letterpress printed squares representing the doses of my daily medication. These pieces re-imagine medication as a comfort instead of a burden.
BIO:
Kat Chudy (they/them) is a disabled queer American artist currently living and working in Florida. They grew up the child of military parents, traveling extensively throughout the United States during their childhood and continue to travel frequently whenever they can. They have been to 29 states and have visited Mexico, Brazil, and Canada. Chudy has lived in the southwest for more than 20 years and was forced to leave during the pandemic in search of better, more equitable health care. They have an extensive educational background in both art and science and seek to find the edge where the two disciplines meet and inform one another through the subject of their work – invisible disability. Chudy is an advocate for disability rights, healthcare rights, and educational reform.
