Book Shirt: "Zombie Sisters"
2020
100% cotton knit fabric shirt, permanent fabric marker, Artist Proof

In the aftermath of a sibling's traumatic injury I wrote a collection of personal fables called Zombie Sisters based on subsequent meditations and recollections. My "Book Shirt" contains these stories, recopied in cursive by hand over the entire surface of the garment. Fabric, like paper, has a skin-like quality, receiving and recording occurances and responses. Contructed as an article of clothing, my "Book Shirt" touches the skin, both covering and revealing.
