Fever was the first of my creations. When I was released from the hospital my symptoms were still quite severe. My thought process was affected by my inability to access parts of my brain. I had difficulty speaking and formulating sentences and had suffered some short and long term memory loss. As soon as I was able to leave the house I went out into the woods near our home and collected some wild thorn vines which I then wove into a sculpture representing the damage to my brain caused by the fever.
