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.

holly willis - aunty jenni
my aunty jenni taught me how to keep
a horse...how to ride, feed and give
them all the love they need...lessons
i still call upon every day now,
fifteen years on.
this text is what i sprawled on the
empty piece of paper lying by the
phone when i got the news that she
had passed
this is the hanky that then held my tears
rest in peace aunty jenni
