Stone. In Folklore, some ancient stone circles are transmogrified bodies. 

Wax. Fingerprints collect on its surface. Rough handling leads to damage. 

Weight. Chronic illness is often invisible, yet requires monitoring. Symptoms shift, appear, worsen, lessen. The fog that slows the mind becomes heavy to carry.

Repeat.

The Body Resides in Brittany was made during a residency with PilotenKueche in Leipzig, Germany in 2022 and shown at the exhibit Deeply Pelusa Life at Alte Handelsschule. A durational performance in which the stones were repeatedly weighed, their weight marked in chalk on a tablet then erased, took place during the vernissage. Each stone represented a different symptom that I experience as part of chronic illness. The performance took place for as long as my body could handle while intentionally pushing it into a flare of symptoms from the stress.
