So the project has had a great response so far so this is what you need to do.
Take the humble hankie and using it as the canvas create an artwork, draw, rip, stitch, paint whatever that responds in some way to grief/bereavement with particular emphasis on objects of the dead....the deadline to have the hankies back to me is the end of March.
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.
