About
the cover: TerraTowel A family reunion installation by John
Vella
TerraTowel seeks to metaphorically re unite my family
through bringing together their towels. Sourced from Malta,
Canada, Darwin, Melbourne and Hobart, each of the 120 towels
belonged to (and so serve to represent) an individual member
of my immediate and extended family. In collaboration with local
residents, the towels were exhibited‚ on the balconies
of private homes and apartments so as to suggest that my family
are reunited and living together.TerraTowel has been
installed in Hobart, Canberra and Sydney.
