About this artwork

"Eight Women" is from a body of work that investigates the assignation of morality to disabled bodies, situating figures in an organic, unsettling environment. Mikell works with blue in most of these paintings to enunciate the monopoly notable Autism organisations have declared on associations to blue, and consequently, to Autism as an alleged deficit. Mikell's figurative abstract works have been exhibited and collected nationally.
