In my practice as a multidisciplinary artist who is also blind, the work that has fulfilled me the most has been translating my inner worlds into the physical realm through drawings, ceramics, and sculptural installations. Currently, my work explores themes of interdependence, Disability joy, and the intersectionality between the experiences of disabled people and non-human species, centering on the decade-long relationship I’ve had with my Guide Dog.”
