A collection of works developed to navigate and honour the mourning of Kathryn's late husband and long-time collaborator Ross Gibson, as well as other mourned non-human beings and ecosystems. 

Many of these works explore the intertangled experience of personal grieving and ecological devastation, considering the indispensable relationship between bereavement and activism.

kathryn's arts/research project - Nocturnal kinship: Bird to bird - investigates intersections between personal and ecological grief through the figure of the powerful owl. 

kathryn developed both the ecological and griefwork aspects of nocturnal kinship while an artist-in-residence at Bundanon, on the lands of the Dharawal and Dhurga people, in April/May and Sept/Oct 2025.
