Dress Series: When Did I Become Invisible? 2009; 29' x 48"; plastic and pin
The Dress Series evokes the doll clothes and paper dolls of childhood. They are happy little dresses, yet evoke something else that is ominous. The departure comes in the materials chosen: woven plastic discards that have been burnt and manipulated. Pins pierce the waist. Some are wrapped. It is an embattled femininity. Mired in wax, the dresses create a greater pathos.
