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.
