Mourning: Rhode Island

To Encase, To Protect, To Forgive

To Encase, To Protect, To Forgive is a performative installation of a fallen tree being wrapped in a twenty yard hand woven linen shroud for burial. This performance serves to honor and memorialize the life of a tree that has been neglected. It challenges the viewer to reconsider our reciprocal relationship with other living beings in our landscape through sentiments of death and mourning.
