THE SOFT ANIMAL OF YOUR BODY – ARTIST’S STATEMENT
If I knew how to explain vision loss or chronic pain, I wouldn’t have started this senior project.
How do I communicate the knowledge that my body is slowly failing me, that even the best treatments aren’t guaranteed to work? With whom do I have to speak with to be heard and understood?

My project, in response to Stanford's form, uses an alternative form of analysis and …
