CreatorRonnie GrammaticaTitleRoadside Memorial #1Date2017MediumPigment PrintPaperDimensionsH. 84cm x W. 64cmArtist StatementA roadside memorial, a commemorative gesture widely revered by society. Created and lovingly maintained by grieving family and friends. Roadside workers will carefully tend around it. Government bureaucracies will tolerate it.

Perhaps there's more to it. A place and an opportunity to grieve the loss of a loved one outside of the institutions. A celebration of masculinity. A sobering reminder of the failure of society to prevent another senseless death. A potent public safety message.Accession NumberG2020.24.1Credit LineDonated through the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program in memory of Ben BignellAccess AdviceFor research purposes only.
