The Disabled Body in Motion

Floral Fasciation

Therma

A figure wearing a jacket, corset and dress. Ropes extend from the dress, anchoring it to rocks on the floor. The figure wears a sheer mask with six cross-stitched eyes in three rows and red cross-stitched lips. Pearls line the face and form a tiara in the shape of a serotonin molecule.

Downstairs: a green water bottle, a travel mug, an apple, and a plant. A rotary telephone, milk carton, egg and tea kettle sit on a table in the centre. Bananas are being lowered from the top level, hanging by a fishing wire.
