Icons in Ash, Public Consultation Hour
Hosted by Icons in Ash
Join us for a Zoom forum to ask any questions you may have about Icons in Ash. What is it exactly? How does it work? How long does it take? How much does it cost? Why do we offer such a service? …
Icons in Ash founder Heide Hatry creates portraits out of the cremated remains of their subjects, thematizing and transforming the notion of likeness while hearkening back to what Hans Belting contends is the aboriginal purpose of portraiture: to keep the dead among us in charged ceremonial artifacts.
The experience of families of her subjects strongly suggests an uncanny and consolatory effect that is best understood in terms of a sense of the continuing presence of their dead, the demise of which experience underlies our modern “culture of mourning.”
Hatry offers an opportunity for all interested parties to ask her any questions they wish about her project in an online open forum.
