2005

Size:
6' 7" x 7' x 7' (H x W x D)
 
Materials:
Folded second-hand clothing, wood and steel
 
Description:
As the clothing accumulates, the stacks get surprisingly heavy. Knowing the weight of other pieces I have made, this piece probably weighs about 2 tons.

All this weight compresses the individual garments into all sorts of stripes, patterns and textures.

Belts, straps and drawstrings create a vertical compliment, like the drips in expressionistic stripe paintings.
