STRIVING FOR PERFECTION

Year: 1990
Materials: safety pins, house numbers, can tabs, wire
Size: H55"+W40"+D30"

Critique: The materials form a surprisingly elegant garment that resembles a corseted dress bound with thick black ribbing. Across the bodice,
the numerals reference another obsession: measuring, counting,
and enumerating all the details that make up a life, landmarks
and boundaries, places and years.
