Kat Rae has taken out the 2024 Napier Waller Art Prize for her interpretation of the mountain of paperwork she was left with following her husband's death.
Andrew died in 2017, and left her with a mounting tower of paperwork, consisting of failed attempts to seek support from the Department of Veterans' Affairs and what she's called "Deathmin" – or death admin. "I had a recurring nightmare when Andrew was alive that I couldn't carry him in case of an emergency, he weighed too much for me,"
The award is open to current and former Australian Defence Force personnel, encouraging them to share their service experiences. "Dog tags if anything, they're sort of like an intimate sort of a bit of metal and chain that stays with you the whole time".
