Over My Dead Body 24/25 RCA Cadaver Bag, Rope, Granite, Knitted Toys and Painted Intervention.
From the garment bags earlier used in the revolving moving image installation and referencing my grandmother’s hoarding of torn and bloodied clothes evolved the industrial cadaver bags intended for human remains.
Suspended so we might consider emotional weight, emotional baggage and also the weight of grief. The granite is immovable. I am powerless over the granite blocks. The toys: synapse.
The bag is full of old clothes I can no longer wear but too expensive to throw away.
Dressing up. Fashion. Disguise.

Hi, Duncan. I hope that since you haven’t written more about your health issues that your diagnosis was nothing dire. 🙏🏻
I know that you’ve probably thought of this but maybe you could take your old clothes to a consignment shop or a charity shop? You’d at least get some money back or a tax deduction from your investment & someone would get something really nice they otherwise couldn’t afford.
Be blessed.
