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.

The image at the bottom is my father, Uncle and Grandfather ( all who have past away ) this packet of 3 hankies, was not unlike all those packets that were given to these men as gifts, sometimes they would be kept in drawers for years never open. One of these packets was given to me on my fathers death along with other items.
Oh the imagination or lack of it, I wonder what children give their dad these days.
