ARTIST STATEMENT:

Can an article of clothing carry with it invisible ties and connections to the past and the people it may have come into contact with? My goal for this project is to connect with my mother and her side of the family through the act of restoring, wearing, and highlighting articles of clothing from her past.

Questions Answered - Pictures

I wanted to answer a few questions on the sketch first:

"The dress sketch is really nice! I think it will work out very well. I would really like to see the skirt part of the dress be made out of paper instead of fabric. I think it would add some great texture to the dress. I am really glad that you are adding in pictures of your mom in the dresses. This really looks like it is becoming a great experience for you.

Danielle"


That is exactly what I had in mind!

"The images you have posted convey a "quilt" theme; something old, something new. I would use pictures of your mom to adhere the new pictures to the old. Will you be adding any narration?

Elaine"


I probably won't be adding any narration. I would really like the images to speak for themselves.

Once again this is a great idea! Please add photos of your mom in the dress in the book as well as the other photos. The photo of the dress
you took is very strong and the lighting is very soft. Keep it up!! -sky


Thanks sky. I was definitely thinking about it.
