Sculptural Garments

 


My work stems from a lifelong interest in the design and construction of costumes and clothing which ultimately led to sculpture. Throughout history, women have been influenced by trends in fashion, often discounting comfort and health issues. Focusing on women’s undergarments, I have used metal fabrics, carved stone and welded steel to convey the changed attitudes and styles which have mirrored our culture, past and present, to address some of these issues.
