Hoarding genes

My great aunt was a hoarder.

When she sadly died, we moved more than two hundred and fifty black bags of papers out of her house.

I’m aware I have these genes and I fight them all the time.

Great to see #waiwav getting such good publicity. Great to see #waiwav getting such good publicity. Join me 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 true dada stylee! 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.

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. #art #weaving #basketcase #basketweaving #raffia #paralympics #heritage #disability
