Icicle Slip - Silk slip encrusted with ice on the stormy shores of Lake Ontario surrounded by icicle buildup on the shoreline's trees.
White Slip - I thought I might do an installation with a dress, so I brought one just to see what it looked like in the landscape.
Silk Flag - I returned a few hours later after dying the garment and gail force winds caught the fabric as it flapped in the wind. I was mesmerized by the wind as struggled to keep the tripod standing.
Sunny Break - The storm has passed and suddenly the sun shines. My artistic practice is dictated by nature’s fluctuations and it is a great teacher.
Icicle Detail - The icicles hanging from the hem are a reminder of the thin separation between us and the landscape.
Moral Fiber - To my surprise, the thin straps of the dress withstood nature’s tempest; a woman’s shoulders bear all things.
Winter Sentinels - The wind, the snow and the ice leave their trace on the trees.
Ice-ing - The ice buildup on the trees reflects the sinuous form of the bark.
Isabeau - Like the tragic French songs of my childhood, the dress ended up at the bottom of the lake. Nature's triumph.
