Held is a project by Zoe and Richard Manders, exploring experiences and expressions of grief, using participatory art to rewild the clinical mechanics surrounding it. Grief feels beyond words so we will play across artforms in an attempt to articulate the ineffable. Using film, song and textiles we will explore sensory aspects of grief, investigating them as an opportunity to confront the subject on both a cerebral and physical level. We will share our discoveries as an installation for personal and collective catharsis.
Below are some textures of our own work that form the starting point for
this project.
