About the Artwork
“This is every appointment I had in the month of September. The 11th was when I was told it would be permanently disabling. I broke down slowly after that, and the poetry critic with my friends and mentors at the end of the month was the only clear spot I could see for a while.”
Stephanie Lutz is a visual and performance artist and theatrical designer from San Francisco. She has been in the last year-and-a-half writing poetry as a means of coping with symptoms happening but not brought up for the last four years. She is active in advocacy and has designed adaptive AI software that garnered the Kennedy Center’s 2024 Advocacy and Innovation Award.
