Leonie's project

Leonie Kelsall made a trip to Castlemaine today to meet up with Susan, a coffin maker. She was holding her last class on coffin making so we had the chance to see some being made. Susan allowed us to photograph the coffins and even get inside them. It was interesting seeing people's reactions to the experience and has given us a taste of how people might react to Leonie's project. We took some upright photos and then lay the coffins down to do some more 'ghost' images. Here are a few of today's results. We will be doing another photo shoot at a cemetery soon. - Christine Sayer.
