8,817 Goodbyes by Meredith Davenport

October 7, 2016 - November 13, 2016

8,817 Goodbyes documents the death of Meredith Davenport’s urban beehive last October, while simultaneously exploring the process of grieving her partner, who also died last year. The title refers to the number of photographs she took of over 800 dead bees that were found as the hive collapsed. The work interweaves the internal narrative of loss to the larger narrative of environmental loss.
