OBITUARY - Handbound Ode to the Sea, A5 Art and Poetry Book by Chloe Heffernan
£30.00
The concept of Obituary was to focus on the deaths of these creatures I found on walks and collate them into a hand -bound book, with a hand-made burial coffin to act as a Celtic burial tomb, with dedications and objects to celebrate them as kings and queens of the sea – much like the burial sites we find in archaeological digs.
This piece acts as a respectful ode to the sea – an obituary. Death is part of our world as much as we may deny it – death is also part of nature. The triquetra – birth, life, and death. Death is in religion. Death is in the seasons every year as a tree loses its leaves and flowers die – death is in the sea with its might, strength, and will. She claims as she wishes and is the giver and taker of life.
Obituary is an 8 page hand-bound artbook. An eight page publication with bespoke illustrations and poetry regarding the flotsam which washed up on the beaches of my home during the February storm of 2021. The book is bound in handmade Himalayan paper, and the cover text is hand-stamped in gold ink with metal letterpress tools.
Each book will be posted in a compostable corn starch wrap, with a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.
