Take Rest: Destroy the Ableist in Your Head

Dec 02, 2021

I opened up my online shop a couple weeks ago. It's been exciting and terrifying at the same time, but I am so grateful for the response and support. I put up six art prints, three of which raised funds for organisations I cared about. I'm so proud of the support that our community has built for these organisations. So far we raised:

  • $576 for Sisters Inside Inc, which supports and advocates for incarcerated and criminalised First Nations women and girls in Queensland,

  • $320 for Gumtree Greys, which rescues greyhounds from the racing industry and rehomes them in Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast,

  • $192 for the Australian Disability Justice Network, which provides mutual aid to multiply-marginalised disabled people across Australia.

It's this community-building and support that is exactly what I want to achieve out of my art practice. For me, every artwork I make is a personal re-commitment to social transformation. I want my art to inspire its viewer to also make that re-commitment, whether that's an emotional re-commitment or a financial re-commitment to those already doing the work.

This following artwork has been one of the most popular prints on the shop, so I'm making it available to my Buy Me A Coffee members as a high-res digital download. If you want to become a member, it's only $7 a month for a new digital download every month.
