While much of our knowledge of illness is framed through the biomedical context, my work centers affect and the performance of daily life as significant sites of meaning for understanding chronic illness. My own experiences with autoimmune disorders have served as a catalyst for creating works that explore and deepen our understanding of life lived with illness.
