Paper mache’ clay, cardboard, glass, wire and spray paint, 14″ (L) x 14″ (W ) x 12″ (D)
I have peripheral neuropathy and find it impossible to describe having feet as dead and heavy as rocks while so sensitive that touch causes sharp pain, so I created this piece as a way of showing people what this is like. It also helps me put the pain outside of my body so it doesn’t consume my mind.

I agree with Marianne and Annette, this is a striking sculpture and is for me the piece out of all the entries that made me feel something; a very heavy and intense piece of artwork that I can relate to as a sufferer of chronic pain.
Thank you for sharing these!

This illustration speaks volumes without explanation. To me, it is the most striking of all the entries, some of which needed a lot of words to consolidate the idea. This one speaks without words.

This is a striking sculpture. When looking at the chards of glass/pebbles within the feet, it has a true depiction of what is being experienced by the artist. I actually ‘felt’ the pain due to its visual impact. The reddened areas of the feet give a clear illusion of pain. Because the feet are grey, this indicates that there is no real life to the feet; without blood flowing through the veins. This gives an impression of heaviness. The fact that the feet are joined by a base also suggests lack of movement.
