Tears to wake the flowers III

By  Claire Barber 1999
Tears to wake the flowers III is an installation created as part of a solo exhibition at Watch This Space Gallery in Alice Springs, Australia in 1999. The work 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.
