  "In this chapter we bring critical disability studies into dialogue with disability artworks that resituate critiques of inaccessibility and exclusion as complicated encounters with space, lived experience and embodiment. Drawing on Irit Rogoff’s (2003, 2006) notions of embodied criticality, and the pioneering work of performance studies scholar Petra Kuppers (2003, 2014), we argue for an embodied, embedded and creative form of critical disability studies – enacted through art. We examine two recent performance and installation works in hotels: Welcome Inn (2019) by British artist Christopher Samuel, and Intimate Space (2017) by Australian performance company Restless Dance Theatre."

Through his experiences, both positive and negative, regarding inclusion and discrimination in the arts, Tim has become determined to challenge preconceived notions and make disability a visible and celebrated aspect of performance. He is a strong advocate for the representation of artists with disabilities in leadership roles within arts governance, stressing the importance of lived expertise over tokenism for lasting change in the industry.

Throughout his career, he has worked with a diverse range of musicians across many genres, including country, rock, and church music, and has expanded his repertoire to include political and spiritual themes, often infused with his synaesthetic experience of colour. Despite a broad professional experience, his engagement with the disability arts space developed over time, particularly through collaboration with other disabled artists, and he values working with good artists regardless of their backgrounds or disabilities. He is deeply committed to his craft, finding a balance between the aesthetic quality of his work and the joy it brings, both to himself and his audiences.
