Ugly Feelings emerges from a documentation practice of archiving non-cathartic (awful) emotions, considering the possibility of their (re)presentation as they are constantly reabsorbed and reconfigured. This piece cultivates and values imperfection, transpiring and making mistakes, as well as real or imagined circumstances that thwart action.

It is a sort of cold meat – an obituary of what is being experienced, already dead at the moment it becomes represented.
