The Dress Series evokes the doll clothes and paper dolls of childhood. They are happy little dresses, yet evoke something else that is ominous. The departure comes in the materials chosen: woven plastic discards that have been burnt and manipulated. Pins pierce the waist. Some are wrapped. Some are mired in wax It is an embattled femininity.
