ARTIST INTERVIEW with ASL interpretation:
ABOUT THE ART AND ARTIST:
“I was born in Plumas County and raised between there and the San Francisco Bay Area. I drew in and on everything and always had a 35mm in hand, trying to capture life going on around me. Due to a traumatic car accident in 2000 I suffered a spinal cord injury. Art would become an important coping mechanism, these experiences along with the amazing teachers and peers are a direct influence in my art. I have an inner drive to create every day that builds up and needs to be let out. I like the way you can use light and lines to evoke feelings in others. Art is a way to get a glimpse of others perspective. I have lived my with my disability for 23 years; it is a part of me and my every day. Having this disability makes me truly be in my physical world facing a lot of new and some uncomfortable things but through that I have seen amazing moments of beauty and learn a lot, about myself and others. Without my disability, my life would not be as rich and immersive; there is no hiding from my own reality. I want to explore how we can help keep the inclusivity and storytelling that allows for art to grow when you allow space for other people’s experiences and perspective.”
DESCRIPTION:
Living with My Disability Life
An unsmiling woman with pale blue tinged complexion faces us. She has neon blue colored hair parted in the middle and pinned up in back. She has a large dark red heart on her chest. Gold and brown flames rise from the heart to her throat. A syringe sticks in the heart with black letters: I am. Words adorn the sleeves of her blue dress: “Chronic Pain” and “Living with Trauma”. In a large pale yellow halo prescription containers form an arc. The containers each have a label: RX, DME, Health, PTSD, Doctors, Bowel, Pressure, Bladder, Surgeries, Skin Mobility, Access, Medical, Self Care, Blood Pressure, Rehab, $. A second pink halo circles the first. In it are hands with curved fingers alternating with crescent moons. In the center is a wheel with spokes. The background is pale green with blue stars with syringes centered in them.
