My veins are like flowers
Extending and growing where I can’t

is a two -hour live site-specific performance in response to the surrounding flora of the St Gallen museum, that responds to the artist's recent reduced capabilities that have arisen from chronic pain and trauma.

The idea behind this piece is to explore the magical forms of the minor gesture in response to time, site, audience and its relationship to themes within care, ableism and posthumanism. The concept behind the minimal form aims to look at vulnerability as a radical act and performatively celebrate limitations within the body. This allows us to look at the body's language in an alternative way; in a bid to rethink how it is felt, visualised and performed. 

The performance will start on ‘abled time’ which means there is flexibility between the opening and closing hours of the event.  This minimal action intends to be explored throughout the duration of the piece and challenge ‘Undoing of ‘chrononormativity time’ through the celebration of the non-abled body. As the performance proceeds, this task will take form in the moment and applaud the power of resting, brain fog as Jones allows us to enter her own form of language and time. The gestures will move at their own time period, flow through the body and into the surrounding nature. Leading us to consider ‘What does it mean to slow down, re-think time and hold space?’
