As an artist and arts administrator, I aim to make accessibility foundational to my web presence and exhibitions. Instead of viewing additional elements of accessibility like accommodations for only specific groups of people, my goal is to create multiple ways of engaging with my artwork. These layered modes of interaction include poetic and inventive approaches to image descriptions, alt-text, and digital presentation, while still staying true to the original purpose of the accessibility features. 

As a whole, I am working towards an art practice that is inspired by universal design principles, and considers digital accessibility as an accompaniment to my artwork presentation and interactions (with the public, as well as within the art world.) Though this is a new and growing part of my practice, I hope this approach can help me create a more rounded and fulfilling experience for my audience and myself. This is a creative exercise that enriches my art practices, and builds upon work that is already being done within the Disability community. 

Through this, I hope to create accessibility features (those described in the opening of the statement) that complement and expand upon my artwork, but still center the needs of those in the Disability community who require these features to engage with the work.
