Description
In this jarring collection, Adam Pottle cracks open the world of disability, illuminating it with an idiom that is both unsettling and exhilarating. His subjects are gritty and multifarious: drug related shootings; amputee sex swingers; tattooed Parkinsons patients; institutionalized adolescents coerced into sterilization.
