We made the God's dresses of Tapa and Lace
​455 x 455
Mixed Media - Paint, dress patterns, graphite, charcoal, 
metallic foil

This piece tells a fantastical mythological tale about a group of women (European and South Pacific both), who while sewing together on a hill, were approached by a group of agitated Gods. The women used sewing magic to make dresses, convincing the Gods to wear them. For a day the Gods became benevolent Goddesses cavorting around with falsetto voices, full of laughter.
