Artist Statement:
This selection of poems are the artists’ response to racism and audism and how it affects their intersectional identity on a daily basis. The works include four poems alongside scans of ink, markers, watercolour sketches—all of which examine themes of race, audism, and identity. Jessica’s works focus on the conditioned live experience—with an interest in sharing and bridging an understanding of social justice and equity both in the hearing world and Deaf world—to discuss and bring necessary dialogue to the attention of multiple communities.
