Dear G

Alli Crandell
Collection:

Prompt: Write a letter to a child in your life about a home remedy.

Wherever you are in your life, look to the pines. I hope they remind you of our front yard, how they precariously sway and swoop in the wind. I hope when you boil them, they remind you of green. And the way you collected as many pinecones as you could because you’d never seen them before, so many that they became a monument in our yard. I hope as the tea boils, it reminds you of me starting a pot. Of me putting plenty of herbs and hours and honey into your cup. I hope that you recognize the prickle and that you’re soft enough to feel.

Thank you for submitting this story.

As a humanities-trained designer, Alli Crandell’s digital practice focuses on creating hand-crafted digital publications and projects. Alli started her career as a humanist among computer scientists and engineers thinking about what “place,” “space” and “history” meant in digital projects. These projects experimented with locative media, cloud computing, and augmented reality. Before coming to Coastal, Alli worked on projects that translated between disciplines and between form and function: an instructor of engineering history to engineers, a digital consultant for grant projects, and, custom digital publication designer for punctum books.
