HANG TO DRY

​

A multimedia analysis and intimate exploration: 

 

What is the The Bra?

 

Inspired by my bra hanging to dry on the bedroom doorknob, I examined the form of this calming piece of lingerie, intimate and common. I wear a bra everyday. It looks so harmless and peaceful hanging there yet it is a necessary piece of my daily armour. 

​

The Bra is ubiquitous, a universal garment. It is the quintessential over-shoulder-bolder-holder, racy-lacey, sexy, structural, sporty, frumpy, uncomfortable, second skin, necessary, optional, nursing, training, nude, floral, coloured, black, white, underwire, seamless, private, public, essentially female, always loved and hated. 

​

I created various sculptures that allude to different aspects of the meaning of The Bra. They are designed to invoke curiosity, contemplation and often humour.
