suffused mourning

A sorrowing ritual diary made of incense & cloth

in remembrance of Ross Gibson & other mourned beings

Vintage linen handkerchiefs, suffused with the scent of incense and then painted with incense ash, made through daily rituals while in residence at Bundanon and hung as a diary of mourning. 

Reconfigured for display at Articulate, alongside the glass cloche in which the suffusing takes place, video documentation of the daily rituals and a wagga (vernacular quilt) fashioned from the clothing of the artist’s late husband, Ross Gibson.
