This is Then
2002 This installation from 2002 consisted of a wall of salt crystallized children’s clothing hung from wooden pegs.
Real Artways, Harford, CT

This work, which consisted of a wall of salt crystallized children’s clothing, was made with found and hand made objects.  The clothing was soaked for weeks, (to months,) in super saturated salt solution, allowing sparkling salt crystals to grow into the fabric.  They were then hung on iron hangers or wires, (which rusted from the salt,) and were suspended from wooden pegs.
