These 3 hanky works are for a collaborative project curated by Julie Barratt of Barratt Galleries with all details seen through the Objects of the Dead blog ..sending them off today with a little relief.
A collection of my father’s objects is held together here on a hanky.
Each fragment holds an object: plants in the garden, work tools I use, the house I live in and the bird that sings.
These objects are what remains and now I hold onto them as I hold onto the memories.
I grieve and the stitches, a meditative process, help to hold these memories together.

My mother died 20 years ago. The memories fade – I try to remember many things about her but a lot is gone. 
My grandma was the only grandparent I knew and I was her favourite. Her whole home was covered with gardens and now I collect floral printed imagery everywhere.
