OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

"Woman" and the photo shoot
The dress entitled "Woman" is now complete and was used for the photo shoot, which was an absolute pleasure...David Lam knew exactly what atmosphere I was looking for and understood my work completely, so that was a confidence boost too. The atmosphere of the shot is very like that of the deserted Irish interiors that I had in my research, and the addition of one of the antique journals completed the image.The dress was shown laying flat...with the journal and a spool of thread placed on the bodice...I had positioned everything randomly, and David thought it perfect with only slight adjustments.Shown here are just a few of the surface details.
