CATHARSIS:01 documents my making of sculptures that are visual narratives of my chronic pain (when I experience a heaviness the clay is pushed from underneath itself, teared in response to sharpness, rolled upon itself when I feel a build up of pressure etc)
As I manipulate the clay in response to my pain the viewer sees only my hand. While my pain is in my legs it is my hands that externalise it just as it is also my hands, or rather my constant use of just one, that alludes to my disability as pain itself is communicated through direct physicality of body – material.
