How Does It Feel?
Good Grief Studios, Hobart
6th - 29th of March, 2026
How Does It Feel? explores the personal and political tensions of everyday life in a chronically ill body. The work pairs domestic imagery, medication iconography, and introspective text with material metaphors to examine a body in constant conflict with itself.
Glass becomes a poetic metaphor for feelings of fragmentation and fragility in a body navigating opposing states – public and private, pain and rest, comfort and discomfort, familiarity and intimacy.
Examining how the body moves through and between these contrasting states and questioning what happens when they collide and co-exist, the work provides representation for the often unseen impacts of chronic illness.
