The artist’s deconstructed bras, t-pins, tracing paper, ink, tracings from 18th and 19th century botanical illustrations.

2024

In each Specimen, every component from a single deconstructed bra that used to be worn by the artist is spread out and pinned directly to the wall with various lengths of t-pins. Pinned underneath these textile fragments are layers of partial and incomplete tracings of 18th and 19th century botanical illustrations of bisexual flowers (flowers with both male and female reproductive structures).
