The Weight of it All

Quilted, embroidered, blanket containing collected pebbles, reworked telephone seat, printed fabric, audio (03:00)

A retelling of a personal grief ritual; inviting the audience to listen, sit and reflect. The blanket is embroidered with an incantation or poem, quilted and then filled with pebbles collected from the beach a year earlier after a bereavement. It aims to soothe and comfort, and sits alongside the bench to create a space to reflect. The installation also features an audio loop, text and field recordings, placing the audience at the site of remembrance.
