The pattern shows flecks of bright red, orange and white. They are repeating, but it is unclear what they are. If I told you it was a tesselated photo of soggy food remains in the kitchen sink, you may be surprised.

This rug is patterned in a repeating motif. It is a photograph that has been mirrored and repeated. The photograph is of an empty Time Out wrapper. The text on the back is framed in bright yellow which stands out from the blue of the wrapper.

Looking forward to weaving some more, this time with fragile tape, at @focalpointgallery this Saturday as part of a nationwide intervention by disabled artists at  30 different galleries, to celebrate the anniversary of the Dada movement.

Materials have arrived and just time for a bit of Materials have arrived and just time for a bit of a play before next week's weaving workshop with year 4's in Buckinghamshire. Excited to be a part of the @paralympicheritage programme. Bringing together my  own Paralympian and artist careers, and exploring the weaving through barriers that we all do in life.

Just another day at the office! Filming for A Co Just another day at the office! 

Filming for A Complete Basketcase, my #WAIWAV Dada-esque intervention on 2nd July at @focalpointgallery where I'll be highlighting the barriers disabled people have to weave through in Covid times.

What is WAIWAV? 

To mark the 102nd anniversary of the 1st Dada International Exhibition in Berlin, 31 d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists will stage Dada inspired interventions in 30 museums and galleries across Britain and Northern Ireland on the same day on 2 July 2022.

The interventions cover a wide range including performative; time based; ephemeral; quirky; unusual; minimal; solo/duo/group; digital and much more. The project asks the question - What if the Dada movement had started in 2020 in lockdown? What would they have done? Is now a timely moment to resurrect the spirit and essence of Dada? 

The event with the title We are Invisible We are Visible (WAIWAV) is presented by @dashdisabilityarts the disabled led visual arts organisation, and was awarded the 2021 Ampersand Prize.
