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.

Lyndall Adams
This hankie belonged to my mother (Rosalind Adams, 21 August 1937 to 13 March 1983). I have pulled the threads in one direction, in the proportion of my life … more than half now ... without her in it.
