I Bruise Easy, 2022
paper, natural dyes, thread


Now housed in the Wells Library Collection at Indiana University Bloomington.

I Bruise Easy is a physical exploration of shame and how it manifests on the body. Each page is naturally dyed in a progression of the shades of a bruise healing. This represents the literal bruises I give myself and feel shame for as a result of disease, as well as representing the perceived fragility of the feminine.
