this way through the sadness

2026

this way through the sadness is a year of grief captured in the form of art. After his younger sister passed away, Tanner Lemon found that creating art allowed him to work through his grief effectively. The project documents art as a healing practice through a substantial amount of artwork, including 51 paintings, 29 drawings, 2 albums, several objects, a short film, and an event. The in-person event serves as a tool for guests to explore the same possibility of using art to heal in their own lives.
