Bent like the river

Description:	This book... was made to affirm the lives and bodies of people with disabilities.--Colophon.In my work, I draw the body bent, bending, able, and disabled. It has been my deeply personal attempt to reclaim grace for a body often considered outside the conventional definition of normal. Living beautifully or gracefully with disability requires me to redefine the words beauty and grace, and to give them visual form. Work inevitably mirrors our personal experience. The body that I work with is my own.--Artist statement from Vamp &ampTramp Booksellers website (accessed July 11, 2018). : A short, lyrical poem is brought to life by a series of powerful woodcuts. The contents celebrate and affirm the lives of people living with disabilities. The rhythmic quality of the verse is echoed by the syncopated marks of the gouge and the movement of the bodies and waterways depicted over the pages.--Womens Studio Workshop description from Vamp &ampTramp Booksellers website (accessed July 11, 2018).
