Abstract
Awkwardness and vulnerability
through continuous public display and criticism
this and these inhibiting, defeating a person’s ability
to be able to function to the fullest extent.
Disabling.
Through literal and metaphorical ciphering I blend original poetry with my artwork in order to address misperceptions about gender, sexuality, mental illness, and ableism within American society. My undergraduate thesis work is an expression of my personal experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major panic disorder, depression and dermatillomania.
