Woven Grief

 

This project is all about moving through the grieving process and using tactile practices as a way to understand complex emotions. By deconstructing two of my grandmothers old knit sweaters, I deconstructed my memories, feelings, and grief at the same time. I was able to create something new from the old. I was also able to gift this project, and spark joy during a sad time.

I also shared this video on my Instagram page, where many other people found this comforting and inspiring, which is humbling to me. As of January 2023, the reel has 23k views. You can watch it here.
