ABSTRACT
Celia Pym writes about her work with mending and repair and partnered Parallel Practices project with Richard Wingate, Head of Anatomy at King's College London. The project placed darning and mending into the heart of the college's dissecting room. Ideas about care, tenderness, darning and value of working with your hands are explored.
