An exciting adventure marked by collaboration and the exploration of new mediums, #Bookdress was born in the FOOTKNOTS installation at Project Space Envelope, where I created world composed of the remnants of a thousand books. A friend volunteered to inhabit the space during the course of the installation and so the first #Bookdress was created. A total of 11 dresses were made in the series, a number of them for poets who were dressed in their own poems. The photographs in this series were taken by Kyna Damewood during a photoshoot that I organized and directed at The Strand Booksellers: the place where much of the book material came from in the first place. |
