“Apothecary”

Collaborators’ Q&A: Artist Jennifer Van: I felt that the human element was very important for this particular work. The line “suffering endured this year by those who have never felt so much before” rang through me as I thought about these last few years with the pandemic. Poet Kent Leatham: Jennifer’s gorgeous final product [is] stunning in its decision to emphasize the transience of humanness and the blurriness of grief.
