    It is a tradition at Catholic funerals to give out prayer cards as a remembrance of the deceased. Over a number of years I have photographed many of these cards. For this project I will install a selection of photos of prayer cards ( the number determined by my age at the time of the exhibition). The Photographs will be made into postcards, showing the image of the saint only, titled according to the date on the reverse of the card photographed. The cards will be mailed to the curator as postcards. The cards are to be installed in chronological order, dictated by the title.
