The liminal time of grief where outwardly you seem fine but your mind is still struggling each day is a time where your are expected to function once again. The devastation inside is still very real as well as the emptiness. Fractal pieces are floating and the thread keeping everything together is messy and trying to mend. There are glimpses of normality, you can see color again but has it changed?

But I Was Still Grieving is an exploration on grief by the catharsis of creating imagery. The repetitive motion of hand sewing as a form of meditative therapy. Images of despair and hope are paired with the abstract shibori and tie-dyed fabric bound as a concertina.
