Threads

A commission vest for the Threads project by Gemma Raso

‘Threads is a collaborative photographic series which shares the experiences of disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent people. Two forms of imagery is used to achieve this: safe space portraits with the participants, and photographs of an everchanging garment that has been manipulated by these same participants hands. Threads uses this conversation between the portraits of person and garment to begin bridging the gap between the medical and social models of disability, to support and share the complex experiences of living with such conditions.‘ - Gemma Raso
