Chique Lady

Dress-form assemblage: wire, buttons, beads, lace and ceramic

A life-size female form assembled from a looping wire torso studded with mother-of-pearl buttons, black limbs, a beaded headdress, lace and layered necklaces — a glossy black ceramic dog waiting at her feet. Built entirely from haberdashery and found parts, she is womanhood literally pieced together from what a life accumulates.
