About the Item

TYPE: Textiles, wall hanging, mixed media MEDIUM: Faux Crocodile, lace, doilies, hemp cord, faux jewels, fringe, upholstery cord, gesso, bridal beads, and sequins BRIEF STATEMENT for The Remnants Collection: The focus of these handsewn and wrapped garments is the art of repair. Repeated motifs and a variety of materials are used during the process for aesthetic and psychological effects. Materials such as lace and doilies are a nostalgic nod to things of the past; the doilies collaged in many of the works were salvaged from the estate of a Holocaust survivor, bringing another layer of meaning. Lace, used as head coverings or veils (widow’s weeds), can be seen as a throwback to a time of “gentility” when manners or social standings were more important than someone’s life. The cocoon-like organza casing of some of the smaller dresses is used to protect the garment physically. What was once whole and now in tatters is an attempt to metaphorically mend and make something new from the remnants.
