Wearable Painting

This is a sculptural costume or wearable painting, ready to come alive once worn by the performer. The red wire armature holds delicate leaves, flowers and robust nests woven from strips of acrylic paint, creating a silhouette similar to that found in bird’s nests and tree branches. The piece is part of 'My home is my nest my body is my home' series.
