LADYFITS_ARTIFACTS

From ARTIFACTS in Iowa City, IA

This 3-piece garment composition spoke to me on many levels of resourcing it for various uses. The uses range from object inspiration_seperating pieces to create 3 definitions_object restoration_documentation.  It's amazing how this one purchase can spiderweb into many ways of interpreting it while utilizing its resources.  

It is a specimen to be explored.  I started by simply wearing the garment as a 3-piece set + documentation of the textile surface + applications.

More to come.

RECOVERY_EMBROIDERY

EMBROIDERY_an object I tend to recover from the thrift stores to give it another chance.  I have placed the embroidery on another object of dress, utilizing both sides.  

Front of embroidery_the result of work

Back of embroidery_the process work

Equally beautiful on both sides

(Embroidery is a common theme that will continue to evolve with LADYFITS)
