Welcome to the Pushing Up Daisies digital exhibition of our decorated eco coffins and hand-made shrouds as part of SALA23 and the culmination of this year’s Eco Coffin Project.

Scroll down to see the list of Artists and learn more about each of their personal works of love and art by clicking on their name.

The exhibition features eco-coffins and shrouds created by participants in the Eco Coffin Project. These powerful personal works of art and love raise questions about sustainable death, our mortality and raise awareness of natural burial.

Climate change motivates us to live a more sustainable life but what about a sustainable death? What is the impact on the environment of what happens to your body when you die? Currently 70% of Australians are choosing cremation which burns non-renewable natural gas and emits toxins. Is there a better way? The exhibition of eco-coffins and shrouds is the culmination of an arts-based, social change project raising awareness of natural burial.

You will be amazed at the beautiful art which will take on even more depth and meaning when you hear the artists’ stories that inspired their creations.
