Thread and Bone is a sometimes funny, always honest solo-work that is part memoir, part eulogy, and part dressmaking project. It is an intimate patchwork of love, family, grief, and heart-surgery survival, where one woman and her sewing machine tear apart and re-stitch a dress less than an hour. Based on the artist’s personal experience losing a sister to sudden cardiac death, then having open heart surgery herself for the same cardiac issues, it explores themes of sibling-loss, grief, scars, survivor-guilt, family-dynamics, healing, and of course - dressmaking! This play is a celebration of the ways grief and memory can un-make and re-make us all.
