This was a project given to my by my doctor as I moved through the loss of my beloved Gram, each time I felt a wave of grief I was to make something so that my hands and heart could move through the emotions together. 

I chose to make these sculptures as I felt my way through. I've kept some of these sculptures I've cared for as I spent time trying to learn about and manage my grief, i wanted to share them as a way to remember your own experience with healing from complicated emotions like grief. 

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
