The making of the material goods we bring into our lives is on our conscience. We also bear responsibility for what happens to them at the end of their life — and what we leave behind at the end of ours.

Stories are embedded in these material fragments — old clothes, bedding, and scraps. I could be buried in this quilt and rest in peace with its remains — useful in life, and in death.

This quilt was exhibited as a finalist in the 2025 Northern Beaches Environmental Art and Design Prize.
