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.

Janice Bostok hankies
Janice Bostok is a sumi-e artist. In these works the blue hankie belonged to janice's late husband. The bamboo drawn on this hankie represents strength and intelligence.The white lace hankie is in memory of her grandmother - Mary Teressa Weir. The japanese character drawn on this hankie means'the still point'. The moment of emptiness.
