Little Black Dress -2008 Little Black Dress is a study in self-expression, fashion, the body, the self and society. This a three-artist collaborative project by Suzanne, video artist Niki Nolin and poet and sound artist Sherry Antonini. The project is a room-size multimedia installation consisting of a forest of small figures surrounded by text, sound and video. It features over 100 sculptures, each in the form of a womans torso, each standing atop a 48-inch tall flexible steel rod. The sculptures are doll-sized, all black and, at first glance, all the same. Yet each is made of different materials: tree roots, barbed wire, condoms, band-aids, pearls etc., thus no two are alike. They are fetish figures, at once, humorous and angry, stylish and sad. |
