Epicrisis

Sutures not only mend tissue; they also weave together memory, pain, and affection. A tactile form of storytelling created during a prolonged process of physical and emotional recovery following brain tumor surgery. The wounded body finds in fabric a means to resist, reorganize itself, and speak.
