A deconstructed pre-stretched 18x24 canvas project with handing stitching: A sculpture to mimic MSA (multiple systems atrophy) such as Parkinson's, Huntington’s- those illnesses that lead to cerebellum dysfunction (balance), autonomic decline (no control over bladder, sight, etc), and parkinsonism (atrophy of bones leading to weakness, stiffness, and immobility in limbs). This focuses on mainly the parkinsonism stage- what appears first- lack of movement and control to touch 2,3,4, 5th fingers to thumb, and secondly stiffness of the distal joints (fingers, wrist) and working it's way up to the proximal joints (elbow, shoulder).
