About this artwork

Light me up Very Blue is a work from an ongoing body of works categorised as 'U-Shapes," a connected series of intermedial works that utilise distinct semiotic visuals to identify, upend and communicate the inaccessibility disabled people navigate in conventional social environments. Mikell uses the repetition of abstract mathematic symbols and visual uniformity to explore what it means to belong, what it means to be Autistic and what it means to be worthy.
