Look if you will, but touch at your own peril!

Incredible dress! 

Feels Lovely !

That's what's made from!

a gown hewn from black Napa leather and more than 94 pounds of adamantine dressmaker pins!

It's not wearable for sure :)

This is one of  Susie MacMurray's sculptures. 

Susie MacMurray's work encompasses drawing, sculpture and architectural installations.  An engagement with materials is central to MacMurray's practice. Her role is one of alchemist: combining material, form and context in deceptively simple ways to stimulate associations within the viewers' minds and to elicit nuanced meanings.

 The dress is at the Victoria & Albert Museum’s “Power of Making”exhibit in London, the prickly garment translates the grief of lost love into a shroud that inflicts physical pain and repels human contact and sympathy. Widow is the fourth in a series of garment sculptures that explore concepts of female identity—pins have strong associations with so-called “women’s work”—and vulnerability. Look if you will, but touch at your own peril!
