Dictionary of Negative Space

Inspired by a car crash that killed her mother, father, and older brother in 2012, the Dictionary of Negative Space (dictionaryofnegativespace.com), examines the lacy spaces within the English language, the vast chasms of unnamed ideas related to mourning, trauma, and repair. Do not despair. This is not the dusty dictionary of your youth. Ordinary people just like you have raved: "I love the format of the dictionary. I love that it is so inclusive of the experiences of so many people. I love that it is an evolving work, covering so much more than words. It is a heroic undertaking." - Joan "It is an online exhibit that touches all the blind spots within our lexicon around mourning. It's brilliant. Let it help you feel and speak." - Jill and "Generous and familiar and devastating and seemingly finite but actually a web of never ending connections and circles (like grief itself)." – Jean Ann
