My Life and Yours, Birth, Beer and Sex (2021)
My Life and Yours, Birth, Beer and Sex, commissioned by Don't Google It, is a video in which I explore how having dwarfism has informed my experience of drinking down the pub and sex/desire. In this work I focus on what I see to be the contradictory elements, such as pleasure and danger, involved in these activities and how having a disability can emphasise such contradictions. While offering a very personal take on these topics, I also aim to explore why and how the contradictory elements of drinking down the pub and sex/desire have the potential to be felt, to varying degrees, by anyone. My Life and Yours, Birth, Beer and Sex, highlights a particular narrative which is largely ignored by wider society - the narrative of a disabled person. It simultaneously explores ways in which all of our particular individual narratives might intertwine. <3333
