ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
BIO:
Like most humans, my life is nowhere near being described as perfect. I was born with a limb deficiency. In my case I was born without the radial bones in the forearm, my hands were clubbed meaning they were turned in to lie next to my forearm, and I was born without thumbs. Throughout my almost 21 years of life I have undergone many surgeries with the hope of gaining more function and usage of my arms and hands. While my disability does not define who I am, it is a very big part of my life. My disability is something that is a constant in my thoughts. I am always thinking about whether or not I will physically be able to do something. This way of thinking has shaped my thought process in a way that not many others experience. I want to record my life, experiences, and stories in the hope of sharing the narrative of a young disabled person to open the conversation about people living with a disability.
DESCRIPTION:
Untitled Self Portrait
Katlin’s curved fingers rest on their left thigh with the right hand near the knee. Their right hand and arm are painted sky blue and the left hand and arm are purple. There is a circular scar on the back of the right hand and a long-puckered scar running up the forearm. They have a sickle shaped scar on the left wrist. They wear faded blue jeans and part of a blue ribbed top is visible.
