Little Monsters is a living installation where nightmares and dreams clash in glorious pastel.

​

What does it mean to knowingly pass on a disability to a child? Why are we so afraid of it? What does it say about how we really feel about disabled lives?

Little Monsters also conjures the ethical dilemma of procreation in a post-climate-disaster world. Our mutating genes and changing environment set up our offspring for a more difficult life than we have ever known - is it fair to inflict that struggle onto a human? Is it fair to deny it?

​

The artist sets her real heritable disability against the make-believe play of her non-blood-related nieces. By placing her signifiers of disability onto their bodies, she casts them in a game where we are called upon to question the tangle of emotions and moral judgements we hold around life-creation and the spread of a diverse species.
