Our beloved guinea pig, Nibbles, died this week and several children came to the studio with questions about life and death. I don't attempt to answer these questions but we join together in an investigation of the questions themselves. It's a beautiful journey of discovery. Children fearlessly ask questions about things that we as adults tend to turn away from. They tread confidently into the unknown. They ask questions, undeterred by the unknowable nature of big ideas. And as they talk, they draw, or sculpt, or play. It's an honor to witness and a beautiful tribute to the life of our dear furry friend.
