As an associate artist in learning disability arts organizations, he wanted to find subtle and powerful ways to analyze and explain his contribution in various collaborations. Working with school groups within an art institution as a musician in DIY punk bands. As a non-institutional arts education student.

I always learn about new forms of art in the lectures every Thursday. This video contains some of the creative process. I felt that they were really good when I watched it and that they really loved creating. I completely lost sight of who they were while watching the video, the only thing I could feel was their love for their art.
Electric Fire – Jumpy This is the song below the video. I thought it was a great song when I was listening to it.
How can we recognize the artwork of people with disabilities without making the work about those disabilities?
“I believe that asking is a great way to go about it. What people want to do and then assisting them in achieving their goals. I remember particularly when I first started asking the people we worked with to reflect on disability. I think you have to make work about that and not disparage those who make work specifically about it……”
I took a little note of what he said and it made sense to me.
