Rituals of My Relations: 8mm film captured by my Aunt Eleanor when I was a child on the shores of Raven Lake.
This woman reached across the country and squeezed my hand - gently.
We don't know each other personally, but we know each other's journey.
Kim's relationship to her art, her changing body and her community especially resonated.
Listen if you want to know a very personal part of me,
reflected in another one's story.
Ilena Lee Cramer, Vancouver BC
Through the art of shaping sound, Kim shares her
process and insights of these life changing years.
Able to Disabled: My Changing Landscape
conveys insurmountable moments of grief, loss and transformation amid testable adaptability and embrace.
Anchored in her reality, the narrative emerges, depicting a vivid story and complexity within the composition.
At it's core,
Able to Disabled: My Changing Landscape
recounts a personal process of transformation,
re-configuration of identity and the work of
letting go to then let in.
