Making kin

October 2023

Compostable woven cover-up of nettle and seashells, made with the understanding that in compost (and in death), species begin to relate and create kin closely.

“..it's about companioning. It's about being in company with, being at table with. And in compost, we're at table with, including those who will return us to the Earth in our dying. I like the word 'compost' because it includes living and dying. If you're in compost, the questions of finitude and mortality are prominent, not in some kind of depressive or tragic way, but those who will return our flesh to the Earth are in the making of compost.” Donna J.
