'...And The Odds and Sods' (2013)

Printed Text on Solid Maple Wood. 25mm x 25mm x 25mm (2013).

‘…And The Odds & Sods’ is a protest against the targeting of disabled people by austerity measures. This piece is a statement on The Work Capability Assessment scandal in 2012, in which numerous disabled people lost their lives on a ruling by ATOS that they were ‘fit to work’ and therefore stripped of the benefits they require to retain basic needs and quality of life; ‘Their lives at a throw of a dice.’
