​When my body finally refused the hyper-productivity of the art world, I discovered collapse as revolutionary. In periods of enforced rest, I found a different way of making and a radical rejection of the notion that artistic worth comes from constant output. I believe in the power of playful disruption - art can be both gentle and radical. My practice seeks a creative (re)imagining of a care-based society through projects such as Rest As Protest and The Slow Practice Collective. Bringing together communities of disabled, chronically ill and neurodiverse artists to explore creativity that exists in the territory of Unbelonging.
