Deathmin | Australian War Memorial
HIGHLY COMMENDED 2023 stacked paper, vinyl, plastic, leather, metal 157 x 30 x 37 cm After my veteran husband Andrew suicided in 2017, I inherited a stack of post-death admin. This “deathmin” contains thousands of pages in which Andrew requests support for his broken body. Eventually, DVA paid $7 fortnightly, later reduced to $5. Three months before Andrew died, payments ceased.
