In addition to enabling the artist's continuous work, this also offers an opportunity for the art organization to pay closer attention to internal work environment issues and stress management, which in turn provides important knowledge that can be used outside of the project.

In parallel, the project collects practical knowledge about the possibilities and limitations a chronically ill and disabled artist faces during an art production. An important aspect of CRIP is that Diktgymnasiet has been employed part-time by Konstfrämjandet Västmanland.

A Polaroid-style instant photo with a white border frames an abstract, high-contrast composition of solid black shapes floating on a translucent white square. In the top left sits a diagonal rectangle angled downward to the right; on the top right edge is a thick slash. Just below center floats a horizontal oval. Below that, on the left, a single square rests above two adjacent smaller squares. Toward the right, a semicolon-like form appears—a square “dot” above a curved stroke. Along the bottom edge are two more black squares, one near the left corner and one closer to center. Through the milky background, faint outlines of a railing and staircase blur behind the shapes.
