Today (and Possibly Tomorrow) is a series of 30 3d-printed candies; each a material record of an invisible chronic illness created from a ritualized 3D modeling exercise. Borrowing technical and pragmatic strategies from medical illustration and art therapy, each model is made while experiencing the sensation it attempts to outwardly represent. While advancements in medical imaging and artificial intelligence invite human eyes to scour the forms and processes that make up our inner constitution, the unlocatable subjective experiences that fall outside of this optical colonization call for different coaxing and coping strategies. Today (and maybe tomorrow) sets forth a methodology for establishing a hard scale for an otherwise all-consuming feeling; allowing it to coagulate as a singular object that rests, however momentarily, outside oneself.
