I speak with artists Kris Reppas and Emily Sheppard about their recent exhibition of death shrouds called, Across the Fire and what it’s been like as an art student during a global pandemic. We talk about “death positivity”, how their latest project addresses mortality and how our cultures inform our relationship with grief.
