Outbursts 3 & 4

Shelly Goldsmith

Dimensions
85cm x 80cm x 44cm

The development of a previous piece Outbursts 1 & 2, this piece is situated in the bedroom of Sir John Soanes at Pitzhanger Manor. Cotton cordon tapes 'preserve' sites of importance on the stained cloth of a reclaimed dress. The cordon tape no longer reads 'POLICE KEEP OUT', but presents hand stitched excerpts from the imagined memories and experience imbued in the cloth of the worn dress.
