A Ticking Time Bomb

read a text, calm the nerves - tell me how to soothe a burning bone.

moments of pause. (digress)

heal within - are you going through a tough time in your spirit? I can’t feel my fingers and toes.

draw a coil with a string = tracing. sift it past your hands like it was a set of prayer beads.

take deep breaths, one for atonement, another for compassion, and the third for your resurrection.

this body is not mine anymore.

pathways.connect.more life lines.let the heat leave your body. let the swelling go down.

building a coil = a line drawing.layering. obsessing.can you feel the body coming back to life?

performative drawing facilitated by text and props.=teddy bears. protecting the inner child.i can sense when we are not fine.

text/script as a kind of guide. it is also the story telling that…never mind.

just… flow… push back. push. remember who you are always!

sign.

…continue. never apologise for your gift.

canvas drawings.blue stamp held by a participant.torn cupcake cups, markers delineating.i can’t be held hostage in my gift.

holding lines that move…asking God, please protect us all.
