My work is fueled by exploring human story and personal identity. I am an advocate for disability issues and ableism awareness through personal and collaborative projects, with a strong focus on sexuality. I am driven by social justice values and involvement including environmental, racial, disability, and transformative justice and police abolition. My work in intimate portraits as a photographer focuses on breaking down barriers to illuminate vulnerability and individual personalities. My driving force for making and intent of my artwork and advocacy practice is to cultivate joy and foster connectedness with each other and within ourselves.

A tattered voice, made of strung out words, hung to dry over broken chords on his mother’s piano. “Decompose" was created in his childhood dining room, on the piano he played for 11 years before a spinal cord injury took away his hands. In a wooden womb of darkness, he took what he had and rose above a society that constantly tells us we are not enough, that we’re only worth the possessions we own, the money in our bank accounts, and our body's abilities. We do not have to conform to societal standards to be valued as human beings. That is why he creates music and art.His music is used as the soundtrack for A Cripple’s Dance. It ranges from stripped down blues and dirt-folk off of his EP “Decompose", to groovy, swampy, singles like “How Are You Not Freaking Out” and “Patience”. He touches on subjects of sexuality, grief, anger, climate change, political and corporate corruption, and uses them to weave a story about life with a Spinal Cord Injury.

Together, they crossed the continent in a rundown RV from Edmonton to New York City. The journey exposed barriers to accessibility and disability justice. It also tested their friendship—and their fight for independence in a raw and comedic way. The journey almost broke them... but they’re going to do it again. Season 2 picks up exactly one year after the first chaotic road trip, where we see what Daniel & Frederick have accomplished since the making of their short film, Tales from the Crip’d. After learning of a close friend’s decision to go through MAID, the ambitious duo is feeling more motivated than ever to make life worth living and decide to hit the road again to follow their dreams. The plan? Produce a disability-themed late night talk show using analog equipment from the 90s while driving down the West Coast. Final destination? Vegas – and this time they’re going all in.
