What we wear and how we present ourselves go hand in hand with our perceived role in society. My work is an exploration of these roles with particular emphasis on gender and power. My work uses garment as a metaphor to engage with what it means to feel powerful for many different women. These topics have the potential to be universal, though my inquiry began at the personal level. My best friend was a victim of sexual assault and was strangled to death in 2005. My impulse was and still is to protect every young woman I know from such a fate, but I cannot. My work is an exploration of the question: how can women truly feel safe in their own skins? |
