Grief Mapping:

For several years, we have shared a practice rooted in the terrain of loss, grieving, gathering, weeping, laughing, slowly widening our understanding of how grief may be held and woven into the fabric of a creative community. Savvy’s grounding in community arts practice and MK’s immersion in the death profession have cultivated a rare and generative kinship, and from that kinship, a new work has emerged.

Bodies of Grief is a communal art process and it requires you.

We will trace 400 bodies onto a series of ten-foot canvases, each outline rendered in calligraphic ink, accumulating into a topographical map of human form layered upon human form. Alongside this, we are gathering 400 handwritten letters addressed to the deceased, each one transcribed onto tracing paper and laid over the canvas. Body and word, presence and absence, merging into one another as grief itself was always meant to be held: communally, visibly, and without erasure.

A website and full details are forthcoming. In the meantime, know that your participation, your body, your words, your loss are not only welcomed but essential.

We await you with open hands.

creation is her language 🤍

creating looks very different as of late.
a lot of observing.
a lot of teaching.
a lot of nurturing.
time for me to inwardly do the same for myself.

I met @chef_nicholas_poulmentis on assignment for @edible.communities #Queens edition (sadly now defunct) and was welcomed into his space with such warmth and genuine hospitality that we felt like old friends as he regaled me with stories of his native Greek island life and anecdotes about serving elevated Greek food in NYC.

That kind of charisma and geniality is rare in this world, especially in the cut-throat machismo world of high-end restaurants. I shared stories of my youth in Queens neighborhoods and tasted Greek wines with him.

As he embarks on yet another milestone, his soon-to-open @kythira_np in NYC, we wish him all the success and joy as he continues to bring new eyes and tastebuds to his marvelous cuisine.

Γεια στα χέρια σου!

She is
a poem.

She is an old one, a new one,
one waiting to be written.

She is.

Sierra became one of our forever muses during Covid lockdown. Her indefatigable sense of play and adventure mixed with her natural ability to transform within the scenes we created with her make her a pure joy to photograph.
