To Build A Home
Monoprint and Lasercut on fabric
(per print) 250 x 75cm
↖︎
As a representation of the dead, these life-size monoprints are a visualisation of eternal rest, in ceremonial postures of a body that once lived. Grieving often means paralysis, the body becoming unable to move, almost as a way of getting closer to those we are grieving. Being comforted and wrapped in fabric, becoming still in a state of the body that still remembers what is gone.

Grief not always means mourning the dead, but mourning relationships, connections, moments, places, states of mind left behind. The writing, cut into the fabric, is a deeply personal accumilation of expressing years of feelings, pain, and growth, engraved into the depths of the body, creating holes from the inside out to come to the surface and liberate themselves.
