Choreomania
Choreomania is a piece from the Ophelia (2023) body of work that did not appear in the final exhibition collection.
Choreomania is also called Dance Fever, a form of collective hysteria documented in the middle ages. It is also the second track title on the Dance Fever album by Florence + the Machine, which I listened to extensively during the time period I was working on this body of work. Florence Welch's lyrics often pay homage to her struggles with mental illness, and this track in particular contains the lines:
"The pressure and the panic
You push your body through
I am especially fascinated with Ophelia's descent into so-called madness, and the increasing pressure she was under from her father, brother, and Hamlet.
"Choreomania" is a 5x7-inch gouache, pencil, and soft pastel on paper. It should be framed behind glass or plexi to protect the pastel work.
