I Get Mad

Indiana Disability Justice showcases artwork by people with all kinds of disabilities. We are here. We are human. We matter. We want to be seen.

Thank you, Jordan, for doing this very powerful artwork! We believe your work will encourage many others to be honest with the hard things in their own life!

Six panels connected to create a quilt. It tells the story of a character who takes their anger out on those around them, but how medication helps with that. In the first panel, the panel is sad. In the last panel, they are happy.

My piece makes me feel proud. When I was making my quilt it made me sad to think about what I did because I don’t like to be mean like that. Even though it made me sad, it feels good to talk about it. I really enjoyed making my project and I had fun with the materials and learning the steps. I had never made a story quilt before. I’m proud of my quilt. I want people to know that I’m happy if they like my artwork too.

I was born in Indiana. I live with my mom and dad and my dog. My dog is a black lab mix and her name is Sophie. I am 26 years old- I was born on November 8, 1994. My full name is Daniel Jordan Kent. I have one brother and a sister-in-law. I live on the southside of Indy. I went to Franklin Central High School. I started with ArtMix programs when I was in high school. When high school was over, I joined the SPARC program. SPARC teaches you how to do laundry and cooking and other stuff like that. When I went to SPARC is when I joined the ArtMix program Urban Artisans. I like ceramics and am really good at detail work with finishing clay projects. I also like to make paintings and to glaze the ceramics. I want to learn how to make a sculpture for an art show someday.
