Bridging time and space, she intertwines the lives and works of Kahlo, Van Gogh, and Matisse with the works of contemporary artists with disabilities.

1/5

A camera is attached to the wheelchair through mounts resulting in the viewers’ eye-level being lower, and when in movement, the wheelchair creates unique tracking shots, 360 degree pivots, and chance framing.

Some video footage includes moments when I am directing someone to move the camera or move my chair to get the right shot. A lot of creativity has come from troubleshooting or finding creative solutions to filming from a wheelchair.
