Colored Dresses

My interest in the worlds of fashion and glamour stems from a collaboration with a fashion designer in 1980 while living in Chicago.
The ‘Colored Dress’ series comes after years of looking at high-end fashion and making many drawings based on these observations. The series ‘Colored Dresses’ expanded my interest in fashion/garments/outfits/costumes. I am now fabricating fantasy ‘dress-outfits’ while previously I was simply drawing them. The ‘dress-outfits’ are created and then sewn onto paper that is painted and heavily collaged with fabrics and images.
Some of these ‘Colored Dresses’ received an application of poly fill making them dimensional.
