Cotton fabric dyed with plants from the nightshade family, cotton thread, and felt. - - - Here I wait for you in the cold wet winter that doesn't want to end. Flipping through pages of books, scrolling through archives of images, while listening to anything and everything that speaks your name. Aching to meet you, so I keep my hands busy - one embroidered portrait per week to count down the weeks until you break through the soil. 9 weeks so far, how many more to go?

Sarah Zanchetta (she/they) is an artist, educator and writer whose textile practice dives into her loss of connection to nature through hands-on mending and research of poisonous plants. She questions what it means to be in kinship with the poisonous, creating intimate works as a space to unfold curiosities, care, and anxieties about what grows beneath our feet.
