Tears to wake the flowers II

By  Claire Barber 1999
A series of black and white photographs were created while artist-in-residence at The Tasmanian School of Art at Launceston, University of Tasmania. The work continues experiments with a series of textiles and dresses with small shapes cut out of them, the pieces from those cuts laid or falling to the ground. I am hinting coyly at the way we are never fully separate from our environments.
