Here is a sneak peak of my current project “In Loving Memory” for the COFA Annual.
The work is a site specific installation consisting of hand knitted cozies made to fit 16 of the headstones in a Sydney cemetery. This work comments on the loss of the Death Ritual in contemporary western culture. Similar to the way that we clothe our dead before burial or cremation, I clothe the headstones giving each its own unique personality and bringing colour into an otherwise colourless space. Each is made to fit, with colours and textures specific to the age, sex and date of death of the deceased. More images to come after the COFA Annual!
