^{hysterical women go out to sea}

^{in hysterical women go to sea williams explores the pain and feelings of defeat that stem from awaiting an endometriosis diagnosis. to do this she explore the connection between hysteria and endometriosis in their symptoms and treatments. having always felt an affinity to the sea, williams felt it only right to investigate the rest cure and spending time beside the sea. while in positions of rest, williams creates full body cyanotypes that are then washed out in the sea, combining the two acts that claim to help soothe her symptoms. this is then paired with labour intensive activities such as bookbinding and rhinestoning, acts to remind us that one cannot always remain at a point of rest, we must still get on with what the world demands of us.}
