Exhibitions and Opportunities

Over the course of my studies I have taken part in a variety of opportunities and exhibitions. Doing an exhibition in each year of study allowed me to create an Artists CV that I could submit to gain further opportunities.

High Functioning

High Functioning

This piece is a fun little tease aimed at the people in charge of labeling those with learning difficulties. Me, alongside many other autistic people dislike they "low" and "high functioning" labels given to us. High functioning autistic people just have the capability mask their symptoms, which we shouldn't have to do as it's damaging to our mental wellbeing. To show this i have chose to use sign language to write out the words "high functioning" because sing language is only taught to those they labeled as "low functioning". Therefore, once those who can read sign would gain the title of "high functioning" in my eyes.
