Fragments of a Dress That Belonged to Two

rubbings of my wedding dress which belonged to my grandmother Clara and was made by her sister Agatha. To enlarge to see the lace detail click the image.
I recently did an installation where I made these rubbings into a silk screen, printed it in a repeat network on a 9'X9' fabric and then projected a video which included photos of Clara and I (sometimes wearing the our shared wedding dress) as well as footage of a friend and I manipulating layered acetates of the rubbings.  I was exploring the idea of allowing people in my community to support me in my grieving process, and reanalyzing mine and Clara's former relationship.

Below are some snapshots of the installation.  Video to come soon.
