Iron-Woman, 2014
artist's entire wardrobe, one ironing board, one iron, jug of water, closet doors
duration: artist's entire wardrobe

The majority of my wardrobe is made up of hand-me-downs and gifts. These parcels of clothing are therefore imbued with sentimentality, and represent an array of fashion tastes. Due to these truths, the action of dressing myself each day parallels that of dressing a doll.

​Performed at Red Gate in Vancouver, B.C., on Thursday, July 24, 2014 for the exhibition "Over Under Over Under: A Show About Pattern"; screened in Edmonton, AB, on Thursday - Friday, September 23-24, 2016 in the "Lifetime Piling Up" programme of the festival "Petite Nuit Blanche".
