Bryana Bibbs lost her grandfather on December 18, 2023, and her grandmother on August 25, 2024. Two hundred and fifty-one days apart. The work she made in response — weavings built from inherited objects, monoprints of everyday items, daily journals made from hospital blankets — asked what grief looks like when it takes physical form.

Bibbs took apart the ordinary things her grandparents lived with and remolded them into an account of each day's emotional landscape. Similarly, the identity began with the typeface engraved on Bibbs' grandmother's urn. Haydena became the exhibition's typographic foundation. Its alternate glyphs drawn out further, refined and extended, until the letterforms carried the same quality as the work itself: delicate, layered, and made from something already meaningful. The process mirrored Bibbs' own.

Work included the exhibition identity, title treatment, and bilingual introductory text in English and Spanish, developed in close collaboration with Bibbs and curator Elise Butterfield.
