inspirations for memorial


a few of the ideas i am collecting for techniques and structure
Rozanne Hawksley
Pale Armistice



i remember being impressed by Rozanne Hawksley's work, this one in particular - it really spoke to me about the consequences of war
Guerra de la Paz
Spring, Sprang, Sprung





this structure showed what could be achieved on a large scale, but too ambitious for me
rag rugs - can't remember the source, sorry










i like the idea of a rag rug approach - it's portable, allows for a variety of different cloth types, can take on any shape - this collection of small pieces offers possibilities


fabric wreath from pinterest



another variation on the rag rug approach 


jessica perry and pupils of hevingham primary school


i like this use of "memory sticks"

a couple of samples - both crumpled fabric assembled for a garland structure

Ive seen Rozannes wreath at a show and it brought tear to my eyes, its symbolic of so much that.
Your idea sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing what you do

i think her work might have sparked off my thinking about this project - she has done a lot around death, war and memorialising - some of it has been quite harrowing, this one appears to have a lighter touch (no pun intended)

on reflection though i think i want to focus on being more celebratory, but i'll talk about that another time

"Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace..."

and I still hold a flower of hope & peace in my heart whenever I listen to this song
