mirabilia domestica

Three children’s dresses: the first covered in hundreds of colourful scraps of cloth, fabric flowers and patterns, stitched together, a firm and strong armour of protection through fantasy and imagination. The second dress pale, of thin fragile fabric kept in shape with layers of delicate net, with burnt holes that from far away look like lacy pattern, pale flowers with burnt edges, loose threads. The third dress, layers of black lace and crocheted fuse wire over a thin white disintegrating dress draped over the black net of despair.
