Interdependent experiential abstraction

What if artists premised their artistic practice on the assumption that their audience or the audience that mattered, were Deaf, Disabled or Mad? How would we approach our work then? Starting with this main question, my work as an artist is focused on centring my own access needs, both as an artist and viewer, while also striving to create work that is accessible to others. My own neurodiversity draws me towards abstract gestures and forms, so I developed a framework to create works of art, interdependently with other Crip and Mad artists. This short entry describes how this method was developed and a manifesto detailing this creative framework. I have also included several images of collaborative works generated through this method.
