Star Ascending,  Upholstery vinyl







This dress sculpture was juried in the 'Ode to Hollywood' art show at the Jeanie Madsen Gallery in Santa Monica, CA.  I won third place, the show will be up through September.

Here is the back view, photo taken outside my studio door before I delivered the sculpture to the gallery.
I have five other dresses, three of which I have shown before but now I want to re-do some of them and expand on the concepts by building platforms and having paintings as backdrops.  Below is another dress I had in 'Fashionistas'.

I have been very busy working on another dress sculpture, it is my 6th one in 6 years.  They are very labor intensive and costly to make so I average about one a year.  I am planning on making several more then work on getting a show.  They are all nature themes, the one I just completed is the star dress, titled, 'Star Ascending'.
