This series of hand-fabricated medical objects arrives at a moment of heightened precarity, and vulnerability marked by renewed concerns regarding access to safe medical procedures. Many have taken their health into their own hands, whether due to conspiracy theories (e.g., nonsense COVID "cures"), inequitable access to health care, or, more perilously, due to draconian restrictions on reproductive wellness and health. The need for hand-crafted medical tools may not be too far off in the horizon.
