Coming home… comprises of shirts given to me by Angela Stewart after the loss of her son, Heath, who was a Horseman and a Campdraft Champion.
Objects left behind by the deceased acquire a special significance. They become a trigger and a proxy for memories and mourning. Clothing in particular…It is where the body, now absent, is most acutely inscribed. The traces of their wearer are locked into the fabric together with the dust and wind that swept through its weave. In this sense, the clothing bears witness and testifies to a life that inhabits them.
