A. Laura Brody sculpts for the human body and its vehicles. These sculptures are conceived with a commitment to social justice and are inspired by the spirit of scientific discovery. They are meant to encourage conversation and to inspire radical rethinking of the meanings of disability and adaptive aids. Her belief that disability should not mean a loss of beauty has lead to Opulent Mobility, group exhibits comprised of art, designs, and creations dealing with and reflecting on disability and mobility. The 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 exhibits were co-curated by the disability activist and historian Anthony Tusler. Brody’s re-imagined wheelchairs and walkers were shared by Frances Anderton on NPR and on The Improvised Life.
Ms. Brody has 30 years of professional costume making, designing, and teaching experience. Her professional career and her passion for reuse and sustainability gave her the skills she needed to create her mobility artworks. She is proud to work with Abilities Dance Boston.
