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.

Angela Gardner - Featherweight
The weight of a soul is the weight of a feather. Visible through the
poem (a cover or title page) are the five blank pages, made of fine
cotton lawn, that comprise the artist’s book. The poem Featherweight
was written for the project by the artist and poet Angela Gardner.
Featherweight is published by light-trap press in a limited signed
edition of five.
