How To Still Be Productive When You're Chronically Ill (2022)

The same week I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, Google treated me to an ad that read; “how to still be productive when you’re chronically ill”. Overwhelmed by this bluntness, I crocheted myself a large blanket asking the same question. In my work I am not only interested in confronting the audience with anecdotes and critical reflections about disability. I am also attempting to grapple with the practical realities of the labor of making art. Crocheting a blanket takes a long time, but I can do it from the comfort of my own bed after canceling plans I was too sick to attend.

Around that same time, I crocheted two other tapestries inspired by yoga tutorials and stock images. All in all, it was a very productive time in my life.
