Paper Towel Dress Project, 2007, 5’x 3’x 3’, Cotton yarn, snaps, steel, and handmade book
In the context of an actual paper towel, each dress/towel would be discarded after one use, but for this project, I wore each dress until it was dirty, washed it, and reapplied it to the roll for continued use. Each dress is woven in a double weave structure so that I could be used almost directly off the loom. I recorded the life of each dress as I wore it and documented this in a hand-bound journal including photos.
