The Crap Collages is a series of collages exhibiting the challenges of living with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). To put it bluntly, everybody poops, but IBD makes you poop a lot more, along with a myriad of other annoying, debilitating, and gross symptoms.

For the artist, The Crap Collages are an exercise in letting go of shame and raising awareness of their invisible disability. Collage as a technique allows for a playful take on a serious illness, an attitude shift that is necessary for getting through the gloom and doom of life with a chronic illness.
