"With the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship, I traveled to archives and museums in the U.S. and England photographing undergarments, armor, and the museum forms that populate the storerooms-- breastplates, helmets, corsets, bustles, mannequins and dress forms. I portray these garments and suits of armor as sculptures of the body, carapaces that have outlasted their wearers. Where they once adorned, constricted and protected their wearers, they are now archived as artifacts, the shells of those who once inhabited them" -- Artist's website.
