Goodbye, Grass!
Inspired by the process of removing her front yard grass using the “cardboard composting” method, Faith Williams Dyrsten shares her mixed-media illustrations as observations on the phases of new growth, ongoing decay, and insect life. Her new work considers what can happen when we create more pollinator-friendly spaces in place of traditional turf.
