Another Twist
2008/2012
In 2007 New York fashion designer Marc Jacobs contacted the artist for permission to use a female figure from her work W.H.M. on an evening dress in his upcoming collection. A one and a half year long email correspondence between the artist and Marc Jacobs developed out of this telephone conversation and the resulting collaboration and this provided the basis for a series of drawings. The artist exhibited the dress in her New York studio and asked visitors to describe it. Another Twist asks about the relationship between material/haptic experience and the transitory nature of current communicative structures and perception as such: What do we see and understand when we look at something and how is that inscribed in a description?
