Trees are celebrated symbols of hope, sustenance, and life. But as they get cut down and die, trees represent the passage from life into death. This week at the cemetery a strong wind pulled down a tree, Anna painted a tree stump in memory of a tree, and her son Matthew built a teepee out of cut branches and recycled wooden poles.
Following in the nature of Social sculpture by Joseph Beuys, I have been working on a conceptual cemetery project. “Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project."
The Beginning and More Links
The idea for this blog was inspired due to my dad's death this summer and the subsequent writing of living wills, health directives, etc. for my own...
I have done a bit of body disposal research and will be working on a cemetery project, which will be documented.
