Because I have chronic pain, each art piece comes at a cost to my physical well-being. Therefore, I see making artwork, itself, as an act of resistance against my own body and, more broadly, disability stereotypes. In many works, I use toys, which I take apart, distort, and reassemble. This shows how disability can take away childhood innocence, while simultaneously reinforcing infantilism.

Performance art allows me to combat this infantilism by showcasing my bodily agency. I oftentimes exaggerate my femininity in my performances, a reaction to the patriarchal disparagement of disabled women, our beauty, and our value as partners.

Ultimately, I want my art practice to support the growing Disability Arts Movement in the U.S., and it's goal to break down social and physical barriers for our community.
