A New Exhibition at Gallery 85


On Friday my exhibition opened at Gallery 85 at 85 Glasgow St
Whanganui.  The exhibition includes work from my 'Mantle' photo series
 of reworked historic clothing, also a small set of drawings
using more recent garments.


This drawing is called 'I Moved My Arms Around' which it taken from
a song about swimming.  The top right swimsuit belonged to Marilyn
Munroe.


This drawing is just called 'Slippers' and comes from a shop window display.


'The Red Dress' from a desirable model in the 50s.


A mantua from the historical garments used for 'Mantle'


A dress with a lace bodice also from the 'Mantle' series.
