Corset was made in response to a story told to me during a reminiscence session with a group of older people from Radstock, Bath. "…'Oh I say ain't it hot, I say my corsets are killing me' so I said 'well take em off'…she took them corsets off and we came back and sat in our seats and she said 'what can I do with it?' I said 'shove it down the back of the seat and leave it'. Of course we shoved it down behind the seat and we gradually moved a few rows out of the way…"
