Erupted Cocktail Dress

By Shelly Goldsmith 2009

Andra Nelki

An archival pigment Limited Edition Giclee print, depicting a life size reclaimed garment. Referencing Rorschach tests, routinely used by psychologists to plot psychologilcal wellbeing, these pieces present coloured stains flooding symmetrically out of the opened seams of the interiour of the garment. Imagining the life of the wearer, their internal landscape, these leakages act as coded psychological seepage, making visible the perceived experience and memory left behind on the worn garment.
