Thanks for coming.&nbsp; emily@sickandtired.studio &nbsp; @emilysara12345 @_cripple_ ︎ https://emily-sara.com/Bio Fri, 11 Jul 2025 06:32:57 +0000 Emily Sara https://emily-sara.com/Bio BIOGRAPHY&nbsp; Emily Sara is a queer, disabled, artist, designer, writer, and educator. She is an inaugural member of the Eames Institute’s 2025 Curious 100, a 2025 Disability Futures Fellow Nominated Awards grantee, and in 2024 was named a Disability Futures Fellow through the Ford Foundation, Mellon Foundation, and United States Artists. Emily’s studio practice spans a spectrum of mediums, centering critiques of the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC) and fostering mutual aid among disabled creatives. She is the founder of Cripple—a publishing initiative dedicated to supporting disabled artists and designers. Cripple functions as a digital, multi-modal archive, that hosts short documentaries, live and recorded events by disabled creatives, and a collection of disabled history intermixed with contemporary and intersectional forms of support. Cripple offers entirely free online classes, including Fine We’ll Just 3D Print Our Own Wheelchairs (And Other Mobility Devices). Emily believes in a non-linear publishing model—an adaptable approach to creating and distributing critical, often experimental work that challenges traditional educational structures. In 2023, Emily coined Stim Aesthetics, a theoretical framework that expands on Disability Aesthetics (Siebers, 2010) by centering disabled (including neurodivergent) experience and influence in art and design. Her work has been featured or supported by institutions including Boston Art Review, Carnegie Museum of Art, Currier Museum of Art, Hyperallergic, Institute of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, MoMA, the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Yale School of Art, and more.

Her practice engages with disabled history and its contemporary anxieties, focusing on accessibility, Disability Aesthetics, and Stim Aesthetics. She employs a neurodivergent narrative, working with fragmented mediums to explore the tension between organic degradation and the titanium and aluminum structures that make up her body. Her materials are often hybridized, reflecting the non-linearity of disabled and neurodivergent bodyminds. These include fractured cartoons, colors pulled from the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC), 3D-printed stim toys, mobility aids, references to safe foods, and other medical detritus. Through these forms, she explores concepts related to trauma, gravity, grief, ableism, illness, and the absurdity of neurotypical rules. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; https://emily-sara.com/Images-of-my-work-copy Wed, 14 Jan 2026 07:43:10 +0000 Emily Sara https://emily-sara.com/Images-of-my-work-copy Emily Sara is an artist, designer, writer, and educator.

Inkjet Print. 24in x 36in. Part of the Bed Drawing Series. A large digital illustration composed of sticks, strings, and various assembled parts. The bottom edge of the image appears submerged underwater. Gravity feels present—objects show tension in how they are balanced, pulled, or suspended. Visible elements include barricades, a car bumper with a sticker that reads “prior authorizations should be illegal,” draped abstract fabric, a seat cushion, a diamond charm, holographic stickers, and a white flag waving in the wind. The overall composition feels haphazard and shifting, as if everything is barely holding on. <img width="2236" height="1440" width_o="2236" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4f07a6dce312d93e65f9f50324d4f4a3363c90d78f879c5bf3332a19a2ee39ae/DD_VA_website.png" data-mid="243858428" border="0" alt="Sending Immense Love During A Time Of Almost Impossibility - detail" data-caption="Sending Immense Love During A Time Of Almost Impossibility - detail" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4f07a6dce312d93e65f9f50324d4f4a3363c90d78f879c5bf3332a19a2ee39ae/DD_VA_website.png" /> Sending Immense Love During A Time Of Almost Impossibility, 2025. PLA Filament. Dimensions Variable. Two images from the show Design and Disability at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, South Kensington. The left image is by Isobel Greenhalgh. An individual in a blue dress, blonde cropped hair and a pink cane is standing in front of the work Sending Immense Love During A Time Of Almost Impossibility. The wall is blue with several framed pieces showing a print with sign language and a drawing by Christine Sun Kim. Pink 3D printed letters, angled out from the wall on a platform so that the public can touch them. They are letters from the 504 Font, also designed by Emily Sara in 2023.

Laser Print. 24in x 36in. A black and white print featuring fragmented text reading “sending immense love during a time of almost impossibility,” alongside a broken border and an upside-down International Symbol of Access (ISA). The letters are deconstructed from the iconic wheelchair figure. The border repeats the same message in a caption-like strip. + Performance (2024 and ongoing).

Inkjet Print. 24in x 36in. Part of the Bed Drawing Series. A digital illustration that doesn’t really depict anything except for maybe color and gravity and shapes—some recognizable, others not. Ropes, knobs, hooks, patches, bows, pipes, wires, strings, wads, braces, etc. Everything is very colorful and has some depth to it but it also does not have very much depth to the whole composition. It has a white background and the bottom right hand corner has illustrated water damage. Structure but no structure. Potential but precarious. Colors gleaned from the MIC. Some shapes from dissected cartoons, completely unrecognizable now. Everything happening in plain sight. <img width="498" height="498" width_o="498" height_o="498" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0055d74debd188f5c5f00aa8edb384ba7712d91bbf15db3ac09cbf1507a129c6/eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif" data-mid="243229982" border="0" data-rotation="0" alt="eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif" data-caption="eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/498/i/0055d74debd188f5c5f00aa8edb384ba7712d91bbf15db3ac09cbf1507a129c6/eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif" /> eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif, 2023. Animated gif. &nbsp; eye_roll_nice_emilysara2023.gif is an animated GIF of a recycled, repurposed image pulled from the neglected depths of the internet: a semi-smiling apple emoji with the word “nice” written beneath it. The eyes shift from blank white to briefly looking up at the viewer, then back down again. The motion echoes how people often glance at a crutch user—avoiding eye contact and focusing instead on the mobility aid.

Inkjet Print. 18in x 24in. Part of the Bed Drawing Series. A diptych of sorts but of the same bed, top and bottom. The first bed is on top, a blue illustration surrounded by pink balls or bubbles and being supported by two bending sticks and tape. The second bed is wrapped in strings and sticks, also being held up by a horizontal straight stick and black strings. The bottom bed feels heavier. The two images are encircled in a rope like frame and have bent, irregular circular binding (like a ring binding in a book that’s been stepped on or crushed) in the center semi joining the two sections. Nothing is functional or really makes sense. The frame bleeds off the page. Some of the shapes are harvested from the neglected corners of the internet where no one goes. <img width="7200" height="10800" width_o="7200" height_o="10800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53beaaae1321701c63b6767e71a666d0456844a54e248374d56b129dd310af85/pinkhouseformeandmyfriends_lr.jpg" data-mid="243229984" border="0" alt="A Pink House For Me And My Friends" data-caption="A Pink House For Me And My Friends" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53beaaae1321701c63b6767e71a666d0456844a54e248374d56b129dd310af85/pinkhouseformeandmyfriends_lr.jpg" /> A Pink House For Me And My Friends, 2023.
