Dresses
Come as you are. Just as you are.
These dresses had their origins equally in my love for the gilded, flowing garments of Italian Renaissance painting and the visual lushness of kitchen packaging castoffs. In process, they became, collectively, an inquiry into beauty, the kind that is not proffered as a mask but shines from what is.
A few of these dresses, and a statement in the form of a poem, are featured in Ovunque Siamo, Volume 1, Issue 2.
