Hysteria was considered a nervous illness associated exclusively with women. French neurologist Jean Martin Charcot observed women seized by convulsions during 'hysteric fits', the arched central element of this work references this hysterical arch. It was hand dyed with St John's-wort, a natural anti depressed and then encrusted in salt to reference tears. The sphere can be controlled by other people, pushed around and manipulated by others.
