  • hand painted tote bag with artwork
    Bag

    a tote bag hand painted using payne's gray acrylic paint.

    comes with a page from 'a valediction forbidding mourning,' my ongoing creative diary. the pages are recycled from a certain recently published book with a rather questionable trope employed in it.

    each page is hand defaced with black printing ink and is unique.

  • a page from 'a valediction forbidding mourning'
    Poster/Print

    one hand inked page from 'a valediction forbidding mourning,' my creative diary.

    each page is unique

    the orders may not come straight away as pages are inked and removed from the book as new entries are made.

    yes, this is a published book being transformed. don't worry, it's an awful hateful, transphobic book.

    these would look great framed or, you know, shred then into bits and use as bookmarks.

about

this piece relates to the finding of seventeen miniature coffins by some boys playing around arthers seat in 1836.

Each coffin contained a handmade body. each body with individual made clothing.

Nothing has ever been discovered about these coffins and the carved bodies they contain. Theories for their existence range from memorials to the victims of burke and hare, their use in witchcraft rituals or memorials to people buried at sea.

The Coffins now reside in the national museum of scotland

A piece from The Scotsman going into more detail of their finding is included in the download

cover image: 'view of edinburgh with the castle and aethers seat' by an unknown artis of the 19th century Scottish School.
