Husks, 2009

Clothing pattern paper, string, water

Room installation

Upon researching the fur trade active in both Asia and North America, I wanted to create an art piece with an atmosphere in which the audience would be able to have a visceral response to the remains of fur-bearing animals. To create an unsettling atmosphere, I chose to create an installation in which viewers could walk through rows of animal ‘shells.’ These remains were made from clothing patterns cut outs, and were sprayed with water. Both the physical properties of the piece, the musty smell of the paper, and the air currents present in the room, allowed me to achieve creating an uncomfortable environment fraught with questions.

Ironing Drawing, 2009
video and shirt, installation

Ironing is an example of mundane mark-making. In this work, I use ironing as a drawing medium and as a performance to question theconnections between history, gender roles, and art production.

This installation creates a narrative and dialogue between the material realm of textiles and the dream world of imagination and thought. Combining hybrid embroidered creatures, excessively long scarves, and floral printed wallpaper this work creates a fantastic world of dreaming delight.

Textile arts and fashion have inspired me to explore the possibilities of materials. Fabric can not only shelter in the form of blankets and clothing it can become architectural. Inspired by Valentino’s line of handbags on which flowers and bows and patterns emerge 3D from the bag itself I set off to experiment with 3D decorations on clothing, in particular on a dress. I want to show that fashion is most definitely a form of art. The intricacies and aesthetics of layers of fabric, which create forms are highly stimulating visually as well as physically. I want to create a dress that is the contemporary application of the victorian era structural textiles, or Marie Antoinette's decorative clothing.

Bicycling Jacket
Variable dimensions


















The materials used have all been bought at a second-hand store or are sustainable fabrics. However there is more than an an environmental comment being made with this jacket. One can see the 'mess ups' and struggle with the material; it is not functional with wing like flaps in lieu of sleeves. A fashion that does everything wrong, almost an anti fashion. The unique design and home made look reflects my intention to be cognizant of the processes implicit in our daily routines: how we clothe, transport, feed, and shelter ourselves. It is presented on a Judy, thus a further parody of individual representation juxtaposed upon a mass-produced object.
