Behind closed doors...the secrets that we keep.
Window screening, felt, fleece, floss, reclaimed textiles
How “secret” are your secrets really? What face do we present to the public while hiding another emotion? What do emoji really represent? These are my questions for this piece. The base dress is made from window screening, a material that allows us to see out (or in) without the nasty things passing through. Lingerie on the body form hints at a naughtiness but it can’t be reached. Thirty five emoji faces hide “secrets”. One may be yours! Yes, the expressions are somewhat related to the secret it covers. The viewer may gently lift an emoji door to reveal the secret kept within. The dress and emoji are hand sewn.
