The Task of mourning, 1995
Neutral Ground, Regina, Saskatchewan. Five manipulated photographic transfers using an identical negative of a Parisian mausoleum interior mounted in canvas covered wooden crates, Tibetan singing bowls, hand made books with their pages left blank, vinyl text listing normative practices with Jewish grieving ritual mounted on the wall (each letter measuring 3" high), and books on the mourning customs in Jewish culture and the social implications of trauma and abuse from domestic violence to political terror, shelf and chair. People were actively encouraged to make the bowls sing and spent time reading from the books.
