Post-Apocalyptic Suit

Post Apocalyptic Suit #1 1/2, 2009-2015, thousands of packing peanuts, thread, plastic armatures

The 2009 version of this piece was a performance about preparing for the possible end of the world in 2012.

In 2015 the piece transformed into a piece about my experience as a mother. These suits are composed of thousands of individually hand-sewn crushed packing peanuts. They represent the playful yet repetitive nature of parenthood and serve as a humorous form of bodily protection, which has a newfound importance since becoming a mother.
