Cradle to grave
Cradle to grave is a naturally dyed textile work connecting two stories of ecological and personal grief through the symbol of the chestnut tree. 

In this piece, I’m thinking about how we can use personal stories as entry points to engaging with larger ecological or social stories that might otherwise feel overwhelming to face. Can emotions like grief (or anger, disappointment, loneliness…) become fractals that we can journey through to gently zoom in and out between different scales of individual and collective ?
