Wearing Our Worries

2011

This could also be  called “The Dress of the Jewish Mother.” A housecoat which at first glance appears to be a  simple polka dot dress. Further investigation reveals that it is in fact silk, with hundreds of hand quilted ‘blisters’ of worries.

The dress is a metaphor for the way women carry their worries around with them everywhere they go, how we cannot let go and how often these worries spread and fester.

Digitally printed silk, hand quilted with threads

68 x 106 cm
