The State of Project Minima - Year 3, 1st Qtr.
Yes, I'm going into my third year now for Project Minima. This summer quarter, production pretty much stopped alongside my mom's rapid decline in health.
It was only after she was relocated to a senior living community near us in Chicago last month, that I was able to focus on a new type of construction. A Dress-Ability. The confluence of mom being a bit more settled and of me being asked to participate in a show at my old gallery brought forth a renewed burst of creativity.
The only piece I produced this quarter was a dress made from an old turquoise top I deconstructed and various bits & pieces of fabric I auditioned from my stash. I embroidered it's name, "Bounce Back-Ability" across the front. I suspect it will become part of a series of Dress-Abilities. You can see close ups of it on my Clothes from Summer page.
