Their work is made with the intention of honoring and building community with other sick folks, as well as broadening how we all think of, practice, and experience care.

Their work has been exhibited at the MCAD Gallery, Intermedia Arts, Co Exhibitions, the Schelfhaudt Gallery, and the Chan Gallery.
