An artwork made out of a ball of cream muslin fabric, multiple needles, multiple sewing pins with white and red ball heads, a tangle of red threads, and a perspex cube. The muslin ball is in the centre, and the pins and needles are stuck into it. The ball is surrounded by the red threads. This soft sculpture is a visual representation of the artist's painful experience with the sound sensitivity condition, hyperacusis.

Self portrait in close proximity to a leaf blower.

I've had sound sensitivity my whole life. Last year, it suddenly escalated into something much more painful and difficult to live with.

I need quiet. It is not easy to find.

photograph of a handmade sign on a front door. the sign shows a silhouette of a talking head with a red diagonal line through it, crossing it out. underneath, in red capital letters, are the words "please don't speak! sensitive hearing"
