In the Sick Hour works at untangling a knot. Jane Hartshorn and Kaiya Waerea navigate notions of ‘crip time’ to redraw time through the chronically ill body. Poems that play with form and shape on the page, each an experiment in articulating the temporalities of the sick body, are presented alongside diagrammatic illustrations and contextualised by critical dialogue between the authors. The writing process has been a collaborative endeavour, all texts and illustrations having a shared authorship. Hartshorn and Waerea have created a working document that attests to the complexities of creating art about experiences that challenge normative notions of how bodies should function and behave.
