Metal, wood, clothing, fabric, light, sound, performance.
The Closet(uniform city) is a site-specific sculpture/installation comprised
of hundreds of post-consumer garments collected from multiple
communities. The installation invites the viewer to walk through
a labyrinth of garments to experience the looks and sounds of different periods and
functionality of clothing from all walks of life. The work explores the interplay
between cultural identity and clothing. It considers how our identities are sculpted
through rituals that are connected to domesticity and fashion. The work addresses
the environmental impact of the textile waste that has piled up over many decades
during the rise of ready-made and fast fashion.
This project is made possible in part by a Maryland State Art Council Creativity Grant.
