Meet Meri Sanders (they/she), a senior in Textiles, with a concentration in Nature-Culture Sustainability Studies (NCSS).

What question are you investigating in your thesis work?

So long as I have been a maker, my practice has situated itself around the act of storytelling. For my thesis, I developed my own process of writing in tandem with sculptural textile installation. My work started with a close look at Hans Christian Andersen’s tale titled, What the Moon Saw— this series consists of thirty-three vignettes where he traveled the world observing the human condition and writing about it from the moon’s perspective. I began crafting my own stories as a means of reflecting on unseen labor, acts of care, repair, and community that I have witnessed or experienced firsthand throughout my upbringing. This practice resulted in four total stories: What The Moon Saw, Tending To The Orchards, Letters From A Birdwatcher, and The Great Big House.

What are your plans after graduation?

Keep on writing, keep on gardening, keep on dancing, and most importantly, keep on making!

The final final review! My last lap in the marathon of running around college building, swimming in a sea of t-pins, writing a whole bunch of notes, and listening to my 11 favorite textile makers talk about their work. The last photo is from my sophomore spring review in the same very crit room… oh boy here come more tears! taken in Rhode Island School of Design by @merisanderss
