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.

Lisa Wise - Mourning Object
Porcelain & Artificial Hair
80cmx80cmx2cm
I can compare the recollection of grief to a particularly disturbing movie. Hair was used to augur the arrival of a ghost. Long black shiny hair that was absolutely terrifying and I was frozen in a state of suspension while watching the horror unfold.
