About: Tracey is an artist, educator, and horticulturalist. A former college art professor she is taking a break from academia to pursue interdisciplinary collaborations and her own studies in urban and environmental horticulture.

WMDcozy is a public collaboration where anyone can help design and knit giant cozies for real weapons of mass destruction that have been retired. The brainchild of artist Tracey Cockrell and writer M. C. Boyes, WMDcozy is an effort to create constructive conversations about government-sanctioned violence using knitting and art as tools to literally put weapons to bed. We hope you will join us in collaborating for survival.
