Project I: Memories is a collaborative project. Calling on participants to share memories from weddings they have attended, a new garment is created from a second hand wedding dress. The wedding dress is dismantled and rebuilt incorporating the participants’ stories into the recreated garment via the silhouette and textile design.
As a palimpsest - the finished piece - whilst sharing similarities with the original garment now contains both the unknown and imagined memories of the original wearer, alongside those of the contributors to the project.
