ATHLETES OF THE SPIRIT:
AN EXPLORATION OF DISABILITY THROUGH ART AND WRITING
AN EXPLORATION OF DISABILITY THROUGH ART AND WRITING
I developed this body of work, Athletes of the Spirit, after having injured my hand from excessive guitar playing. I interviewed writers who lived with their own disabilities and abilities. My paintings reflect what moved me during the interviews. The majority of people I spoke with enjoy writing and joined me in the effort to express our feelings toward disability through journal entries. poetry and prose. Through our candid conversations, I came to highly respect each individual and the disabled community as a whole.
I will be including the writing sometime soon.
