The final section of the show was a mini collaboration Between my eldest son and myself.

The piece that I made out of what we collected on our first cemetery walk together hung beside a piece he made himself at my studio two years later.

I also included a handmade book that we both contributed to, which he started on his own during a weekend craft time that we shared. He had written “Sorry you died” (incorrectly spelled, you can reference his spelling here) on the cover, and done some collage work from a dark children’s book he had found. I added my own writing and collage work in the second half, and included photographs and thoughts about the importance of taking children to cemeteries and beginning this necessary conversation about death at a young age.

Included photographs below:
