wearable art // art-to-wear // garments
|
My dresses represent the 'Feminine', serve as objects of utility, as protection, modesty, adornment and self-expression.
Wearable art garments are surfaces and canvases for messages and decoration and sometimes as a medium for protest. I make wearable art garments that explore internal and external narratives. I also make wearable art garments that tell stories. Sometimes my dresses weave idyllic, whimsical narratives grounded in the land of make-believe and pretend. During uncertain times Avant Garde art-to-wear is an expression of our enduring hope and possibility; a reminder of our dreams and of what might be. Such narrative works provide a refuge we as adults dream of returning to - a moment in time that was less demanding and filled with wonder. "Avant Garde is making something that is not framed in the norm" Galina Mihaleva |
