I am using the garment and language of garment-making to unlearn my relationship with my body. A sleeve is no longer a sleeve, but a building block to create a three dimensional form. A garment no longer is this definable, easily understood object. The body is no longer easily understood in relation to these garments. The viewer cannot make any assumptions about the body, my body, or their body... The question I am asked most often about my work is why I make garments only in my size. I used to answer by saying that my body is the most reliable, because it is right here with me. I can always rely on myself to do the performance, wear the garment. But really, it is to give form to this intangible thing- my body. To see my form outside of myself. To see my body, off my body. To feel comfortable in an uncomfortable world. It is a Pygmalion impulse- to sculpt and make real. And Sisyphean- this task can never be completed... INFO ︎ Subscribe CV info@studiosdk.net I am using the garment..
