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

Memories - Magnolias at Dusk Hankie by Jocelyn Girle

Etching on silk chiffon - 2009
Mounted onto silk satin

Beauty brings nourishment to the soul, and solace, in times of need when we reflect on times past - of love and its warmth. Flowers radiate beauty for all to experience.
Magnolias at Dusk.
Beauty for the eyes and the soul. With these reflections we can move on to the morrow and treasure our memories.
