    Flower Shaman Dress, 2018
    Silk, cotton, thread, boning, fabric paint 
    Artist: Elizabeth Jameson
    Dress engineering: Willow Fox and Wyly Astley
    Dress blank tailor: Olivia Stambor
    Dress flower construction: 40 amazing volunteers
    The flower shaman dress represents the finished transformation. A densely packed wall of flowers protect and inspire a life free of fear and suffering. The cone shaped hat, reaching to the sky, obscures the face so we can imagine ourselves.
    The 7000 silk flowers on the Shaman dress were handmade by over 40 volunteers. Each flower was cut, painted, ironed, shaped, then hand sewn onto the dress. Taking hundreds of hours, the time and workmanship comprising this dress is akin to a designer couture creation.

    “The dress, its work on behalf of the body, is everything. Note how it elongates the leg, lengthens the arms. That those might in fact be arms, and not simply sleeves, slowly liquefying under the weight of fabric, congealing in bands, like poured, cold molasses? Well, try not to notice.”
