The Geography of Illness is a long-term interdisciplinary art project exploring chronic illness through objects, photography, and lived experience. Centered on The Nightstand Collective and Nightstand Still Life, the project examines care, material culture, and the everyday realities of living with chronic illness.


The Geography of Illness looks at the lives of folks with chronic illness through the viewfinder of the Nightstand Collective project.
From the space of interruption that illness brings; the nightstand portraits observe the material culture of the chronically ill, featuring their stories, tools and spiritual practices.
