After years of working with Siomha I have become used to odd requests but when she asked me to produce The Coil's Lament, I did not expect for the following months to be overcome with research on what a human shaped reproductive coil would look like. The idea came to me while watching Siomha perform to an enraptured crowd the story of her unused coil. Through sweat, blood, tears and cardboard a final costume was produced that represented the bleakness of the Coil's underutilized existence. During the photo shoot we sought to capture the existential doubt the Coil was facing, this was well helped by our own experiences of lockdown.
