This new quilt was recently finished by Michael Demaggio for the Ghost Forests project, which explores issues of human response to ecosystems suffering from drastic reductions in carrying capacity for all organisms. The quilt design builds off a folk wayfinding system that was created to aid communities in safely navigating their way through their local environmental collapse.
