script for falling down and getting up

What health professionals say stays with you. Script for falling down and getting up draws from Fletcher's own breast cancer experience, the words that circle in your head while you do the groceries, cook dinner, or wake at night. Sentences like "We are aware this is a lot to take in" and "You might want to have a thought about how you tell your children" become a loop of their own.

In this single channel video, Fletcher falls down and gets up, falls down and gets up, the body tracing its own relentless and exhausting pattern. The words of her care team run alongside, subtitled in Poppins, the font of Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand.

Edition 1/5. Acquired by the Invercargill Public Art Gallery, NZ, permanent collection, 2024.
