In his publication On the Origin of Species (1859) Charles Darwin referred to the vestigial organs of our anatomy and their role in the theory of evolution. Like wisdom teeth and the appendix, what was once necessary for survival, now merely exists as a reminder of what has been lost. With the death of loved ones, the traces left behind are persistent. Vestigial Loss explores how death can influence the understanding and sanity of what remains.

Showing at DEAF Space, DVAA, 56 Woods Street, Darwin, NT

5-27 June, 2009 (opening Friday 5 June, 6pm)
