I plan to make collages which explore these themes (and any new themes I discover along the way:
- Moreover, when these articles are removed from the person wearing them, they look, like carcasses, like bodies foreign to the body they dressed. Without a body, the agarment has no reason to exist; it is merely a lifeless mass of fabric, a soulless hide. In short, fashion makes the body; the garment is a tool of bodily modification. (turn this on its head; body makes fashion)
- surrogates; permanence; living on through objects; the death of the body; memorialization
- Opposite of a corset???
