Drawings of Clothing
Here are some drawings of clothing, I began to make these after seeing
celebrity sales such as the clothing of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe.
I wondered what remained with the clothing that made them desirable.
This is Janet Frame's Gown, Janet used to live around the corner from us
in Whanganui. We enjoyed tea parties with her, eating Boston Buns
and biscuits with copious amounts of tea. It is a star spangled dress as she
had been writing her biography at that time which gave her great acclaim.
Janet's Day Dress
This is a watercolour of a Christening Gown, finely sewn with lace
inserts and a family heirloom.
This is a beaded cardigan, I can remember these being worn and they were
made in New Zealand, maybe in the 70s.
