Artist’s statement, “Fabulous silk and I had the perfect pattern, The Assembly Line’s Box Pleat Dress. Had to do a little careful pattern matching on the sleeves, which was a good exercise. Please forgive the wrinkles, I wore it before photographing it. Won’t work for another project (as you note, the pattern is very large) but I am sure you have other fabrics that will.”
“Are you a professional seamstress or designer?”
Erin Solaro, “No, self-taught. Do this as a form of political / culture protest: I reject fast fashion.”
