A woven form made from a shredded velvet dress, constructed into a cotton and boning warp. The work hangs from a brass hook screwed into the wall. It is part of a series of nine pieces called 'The Self Skins', exploring a woman's emotions as she metamorphosed from one self, to another. Private collection.
