Materials: Upcycled 1980s satin wedding dress, shibori dyed with rusty nails, glass beads

Image Statement: What value does an unwanted wedding dress hold? Does it still represent love, faith and tradition as it did when it was worn? I find beauty in the overlooked or unwanted and upcycle textiles with rust to celebrate the impermanence of our natural resources and our human relationships.
