the hankie project

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

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the artists for your participation in this wonderful display of grief and loss. Love Juliexxx

Julie: Thanks for everything. Here's my statement. "This is a photograph of my father, Sam, holding me when I am 2. He died in 1990, too young at 71. His untimely passing has influenced all of my work since then. There are so many questions I have to ask him still. His love is in me." Louise
