On Loss and Absence: Textiles of Mourning and Survival by Isaac Facio

A journey through the rich histories of textiles that explores their significant cultural roles, from memorializing lost loved ones to resisting oppression.

From ancient Egyptian shrouds for to medieval relics, textiles have played both functional and symbolic roles in rituals of death across time and place. Featuring funeral hangings, mourning samplers, garments, and many other textiles and fragments, along with works by contemporary textile artists such as Nick Cave (b. 1959) and Angela Hennessey (b. 1971), this book highlights how these objects help people negotiate experiences of loss, grief, healing, and survival.

With over seventy textiles dating from antiquity to today, On Loss and Absence brings together examples from cultures and traditions around the world.
