The subject matter of my work is a continued investigation and exploration of ways to challenge and subvert representations of physical disability.
"Araniello translates an unforgiving attitude into visualising concepts, often using her art to parody the profound ignorance that disabled people face on a daily basis."
The prime focus is to subvert and parody complex contemporary issues often to do with disability such as assisted suicide, media representation, prejudice and ignorance and body aesthetics. Using a variety of media including film, performance and digital prints I transform these complex and serious issues to make works that are humorous and playful with a critical edge. as an antidote to those varying clichés) I get to bake my cake and eat it too.
