Artist statement

 My work is intended to change opinions and educate people further about differences aka disability. Society views people with differences as unhealthy, defective, and deviant. Over the centuries people with disabilities have been mistreated as human beings. There are still cultural, social, and religious views that still affect people with differences. My work entails how disability historic movements are still present in today's practices of society by creating wearable or sculpture objects to show the viewer the reality of disability culture in the public view. By presenting a piece on the body, it presents something that is hidden and issues that aren't mentioned or talked about in public. Creating and educating people about these issues creates conversations and social awareness of the various ways people retain and learn information.
