Since 2019, Michaela Morse has recorded what coffee, tea or yerba mate Morse brew each morning, dried it out, and saved the materials in jars. Sitting at home with these inadvertent sculptures, Morse came to understand them as Morse's way of coping with the anthropogenic climate crisis, of grieving for those disproportionately impacted and of preserving the materials that sustain Morse via the quiet moments of the brewing process. This material exchange has led Morse to a less human-centered way of thinking, joining a chorus of Indigenous ecologies and world-centered intellectual traditions.
