"Heather S. Roberts' project 'The Bones I'm Made Of' invites the viewer to think at the intersection of gender and ability/condition. both of these social constructs intend to think at the intersection of gender and ability/condition. both these social constructs intend to impose norms or a value of 'normality'; however Roberts challenges such normative assumptions. The resistance to dictated behaviours is embodied in the use of steel on which to print the images. At the junction of self-portraiture, staged-images and performance. Roberts decided to quite literally turn herself into a warrior. With 'The Bones I'm Made Of', with texture, shapes, light, Heather S. Roberts becomes an armoured soldier and reconsiders social norms."
