"Looking beyond the surface traits such as identity I try to draw out both the rational and irrational that makes us who we are. Using play, metaphor, repetition, ritual and reflection I try to create artworks (or situations that lead to the creation of artworks) that sits as a mirror to contemporary human insecurities.​​​​​​​"

Through an associateships with Disability Arts Online and on other platforms, Ashokkumar Mistry has written extensivly about Disability arts and Neurodiversity. He has also reviewed a number of exhibitions and performances throughout the United Kingdom, taking the reader beyond well trodden, accepted view of the arts.
