My current field of artistic practice is disability art. No ordinary spirit of the time is a response to an ableist society that discriminates against those with disabilities. I come to disability art from lived experience as the Para-parent of a child affected by a life-long physical disability. These photographs are an expression of feelings and emotions experienced by myself.

The landscapes, with their inverse colours, tones and writhing forms, are a self-expression of the inner trauma I experienced post birth when a momentary blinding transcendent white light flooded my vision. This whiteness inverted the scene around me from darkness into dazzling electric light.

In this series, the function is both metaphor and visual counterpoint to the images with figures. The figures and their poses, some of which have been inspired by religious paintings, represent the awkward on-going struggle against societal barriers that manifests in such circumstances. Photographs of landscape details have been projected over a body shrouded in a stretch fabric, set against a black background. The resulting images conjure alienated beings and dark atmospheres. These portraits and abstract landscapes visualise the otherworldliness and chaotic nature of life in the metaphorical disability landscape.
