Erin Clark, is a Canadian world-traveller, world champion pole dance athlete, and, as a paragliding pilot, Erin has a wheelchair that can fly.

Creator of Instagram's erinunleashes and Sex Icon Magazine, Erin's work is a reclaiming of disability in narrative. In her persona as "International Sex Icon" she reflects on sex appeal as a source of power and influence juxtaposed with the wheelchair --the ultimate symbol of helplessness and powerlessness. She refuses to accept the desexualization and disempowerment of disabled bodies, while commenting on the objectification of women as sexual objects and of disabled people as objects of inspiration.

In her instagram vignettes, self portraits and short films she expresses the intimacy she experiences within her life; with nature, her wheelchair, the intimacy that arises between her and the people she meets. Erin portrays and presents herself in defiance of the history of disabled people being spoken for and used as narrative catalysts for the enlightenment of non-disabled protagonists. She centers herself in adventurous, glamorous, empowered narratives, framing the world from a wheelchair-eye-view.

​

Erin is an award-winning creative non-fiction writer whose work has appeared in Gay Mag, Refinery29, Brevity and other literary journals. Her short films and self-portraits have been published by The Deaf Poet's Society and Khôra.

Her memoir, If You Really Love Me, Throw Me Off the Mountain was published by EyeCorner Press and her upcoming #OwnVoices romantic comedy, The Break-Up Artist (published by Audible), is slated for a 2022 release.
