This Too Shall Pass

How quickly I fall beneath the baseline. Entangled Depleted Absent Medications to lift me up, to remind my heart to keep beating, to reduce the risk of cancer returning, to block the migraines, to soften the body and sharpen the mind. It’s an exhausting, never-ending cycle, trying to get back to base. Assembling this work from snippets of digital, analogue, new and archival images - interlacing them with scanned objects and inscribing them with binary notation; 1 for ‘ON’ and 0 for ‘OFF’ that mirror how digital systems encode presence and absence - has felt like a delicate balancing act, like the juggling of medication.
