From the artist:
โ€œLittle Deaths All in a Rowย reads like the diary of a scientistโ€”a little nerdy, deeply poetic, and utterly unafraid to examine the rawest corners of intimacy, regret, and mortality. Earley isnโ€™t fearless; sheโ€™s brave in the face of her fears, blending scientific inquiry with spiritual musings in a way that is both intellectually compelling and profoundly human. Collaborating on the 17 illustrations for this book over the past year was an incredible journey, and Iโ€™m honored to have contributed to such an honest and luminous work.โ€
