The Wild Cosmos 

The Wild Cosmos is Diane's first handbound artist book, an homage to her brother Stephen. The limited-edition book is both a meditation on grief and a journey through resilience—a love letter to the places, memories, and people who shaped her. Through images and words, it explores the connection between the natural world, grief, and the stories we carry.

Nothing prepared me for when the stars--my mom, dad, and brother--fell from the sky. They say that breaths come in pairs, except at two times in our lives--the beginning and the end. I don’t believe it. I hold one for each of them.
