HFA Teleconference - 2007 Call for Artwork

Hospice Foundation of America requested artwork from hospices nationwide for the 2007 teleconference, Living With Grief®: Before and After the Death.  The following submissions were produced by hospice patients, family members, caregivers, and hospice professionals and volunteers.  Providing a creative outlet can be an important part of the grief process.  A person does not need to consider him or herself an “artist” to produce these works.  By expressing their feelings creatively, the grief process can be better articulated and shared.  Here are some of the submissions HFA received this fall.  We wish to thank all the participants who sent in these wonderful works.  To view a larger image and information about each piece, click on the individual images below.

Title: Woven Memories
Artist: April Scott
Staff members at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice shared the story behind the creation of the piece: The photograph is of a woven tapestry that was created at our memorial service last May. We invited family members to bring a piece of favorite clothing that reminded them of their loved one. The types of things that were included in the weaving were: neckties, pieces of shirts, dresses, scarves, strips from a baby blanket. The weaver worked during the service and for several hours over a period of days after the service to create the piece pictured. At completion, the tapestry is about 4 feet long and is very colorful. It's interesting to look at all of the different types of fabric, the buttons from shirts, the fringe of a scarf and the various textures. It is moving to realize that each of these scraps represents a person and the memories that still exist of them. The tapestry now hangs in our Hospice Center in Wichita, KS and is titled, "Woven Memories."
