STATEMENT

"I was given 7 pieces of deconstructed skirts from the archive, chosen by Colburn. With them, I made the choice to honor the edges of each by leaving them exposed. I used only red and orange threads to hand stitch the pieces together, forming a new skirt that honors the creases, marks, and edges— evidence of what the skirts might have been at another time. I applied a layer of indigo dye to one whole piece and partially to another piece." Athena Kokoronis
