This project was borne out of the recent sudden death of my father, a handkerchief, some emotive words written by a sibling on his death and the traumatic aftermath of a death processed according to particular societal and cultural mores.
Interested artists and Individuals are invited to create an artwork on a handkerchief (any handkerchief not necessarily a man's) based around death/grief/bereavement and return it to me by mid July 2011 for inclusion in a show in Melbourne in August, 2011
Please note that due to the subject matter of this project (death/grief) some of the images on this blog might be disturbing.

Courtney Griffiths - Tea stained hankies
I mourn a soul vanished. I grieve a spirit extinguished. I remember a laugh muted, a smile faded. I long for an energy surpressed. I weep for a man changed.
i love how you put together the stains and the text and how spartan it is yet speaks volumes.
