Sculpture series
Varying lengths



Informed by menopause research and interviews with women experiencing menopause, this sculpture series mashes up coding systems with childhood gym class. Each colored sequence of plastic beading is encoded with emotional data over time to record experiences of gender and aging.

One in the series installed in M_______, The Menopause Project, 2018.
Sculptures were available for sale in M________, The Menopause Project
As part of the M______, The Menopause Project program series, participants in “Jumprope as personal talisman” were invited to adapt the coding system to their own lives in the design and building of personal jumpropes.
