In the process of art making with my drawing techniques has enabled me to research my identity as a Deaf person and my language. Through resolving these questions about my Deaf experiences and language, drawing in a meditative state has allowed me to uncover visuals of my Auslan language and in that process I discovered hidden oppressions of our language and identity which had resulted in audism that we deal with today. ‘Is This Possible?’ Is a reflection on how I have come to deal with audist attitudes and more recently, masks and communication during the pandemic. ‘My Auslan Language’ was the starting point of delving into the Deaf history and looking into the glass of my Deaf experiences I have every day and over the last three years my research has evolved through my drawing process and alongside other disciplines in my arts practice.
