Jillian Crochet’s work explores disability, the medical industrial complex, comfort, pleasure, care, and access. Her own labor of self-advocacy in a world intentionally designed for certain bodies over others led her to a performance practice in which she peels back the layers of oppression disabled individuals face in their daily lives.
Watch our latest video to see how her work on view in “Bay Area Now 9” provides a space for relaxation and respite inspired by moss-covered rocks and ground. Blurring the space between private and public, indoor and outdoor, it offers a soft place for the disabled community to rest and find pleasure, opposing the normative gallery experience in which seating or lounging can be unyielding or scarce.
