Honestly? I started making this work as a “fuck you” to all the adults that tell us there is no space for us to pursue the things we love.

Long story short. Being diagnosed late in life brings with it a certain level of resentment. When you finally being to put the piece together about your experience, and why you always felt different, and how everyone knew you were different, but no one could tell you why?

You get a little angry. Angry because for years you thought this was happening because of a defect in your character. People guilted and shamed you when it turns out all you need was a little support.

The intention behind this work is to celebrate the things we love. To offer you a little joy and the support we all were missing as a children.

With your help, Let’s make a collection of art that honors the parts of ourselves we were taught to abandon.

Whether it be your hyper focus of the moment, of the special interest of a lifetime, these things deserve to be seen, and celebrated.

Love you a bunch,

Sterling 😘
