This gallery contains a few selections created for a show at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont in 2013.
I was asked to curate 19th and early 20th century clothing from the museum's vintage collection and pair it with my work. I responded by focusing on themes of constriction and societal convention, nature and the wild. I could not resist including levity in the process.
