'united tissues_mourning process' is a work in progress. It manifests through the gesture of pulling a single degradable tissue out of a tissue box. The sculptural form and shape is mostly a result of the material’s affordance and the light that bounces of the tissue’s thin and opaque material. We work through the entire box of tissues, about 100. It is the collaborative effort between the artist and the agency of her materials that offer new readings, referring to Harman’s (2012) ‘The Third Table’; we refer to this work as collaborative.
