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.

Ross McMaster Hankie Work
Of his work Ross states “My current work questions the validity of organized religion within contemporary society. In a time when we readily vilify Islam for its actions, I believe it's time for us to take a close look at the recent record of Christianity. In particular Catholicism, it’s involvement in crimes against humanity and the relationship between the Vatican and Fascist regimes in the 20th century”.
