bubblegum and kryptonite



These are the finished pieces for ArtPrize 2011.  Each is 6 x 4 feet, they will hang side by side as a diptych.  Next week Marc will help me install at my venue host, Fifth Third Bank.

A Dress with Pockets

I look so happy because I am with Marc in our old stomping grounds (downtown Grand Rapids) celebrating eleven years of marriage.  And there is the fact that I got props for my dress while shopping at Urban Exchange on Fulton Street.  It's a grey/black print rayon with a button bodice and a side zip and the sleeves are left unfinished, so they're a little frayed.  I made this one after several unsuccessful attempts at finding the perfect lightweight summer dress.  When the weather gets cooler, it will look great layered with leggings and a sweater.
