Le concept de \u00ab\u00a0Little Dress Garden<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 afin que chaque femme <\/span>ait au moins un \u00e9l\u00e9ment dans sa garde-robe qui soit produit de fa\u00e7on durable et \u00e9quitable. L<\/span>e projet vise \u00e0 sensibiliser sur l’impact de l’industrie sur notre environnement et d’offrir une possibilit\u00e9 r\u00e9aliste de changement en cr\u00e9ant une demande pour des meilleures pratiques par le biais des consommateurs.
\n<\/span>Pour cette raison, les robes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enti\u00e8rement cr\u00e9\u00e9e \u00e0 partir de mati\u00e8res organiques ; \u00a0\u00bb\u00a0<\/span>Portez-la et qu’elle se composte !<\/strong> \u00a0\u00bb est le slogan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce projet se d\u00e9marque de la \u00ab\u00a0robe noire\u00a0\u00bb omnipr\u00e9sente avec celle qui est v\u00e9ritablement organique : fabriqu\u00e9es \u00e0 partir de feuilles et de fleurs.
\n<\/span>Sa conception est bas\u00e9e sur la robe classique, tout d’abord introduite dans les ann\u00e9es 1960 par Coco Channel.\u00a0<\/span>Vingt-huit femmes participantes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 choisies pour leur soutien et leur engagement dans l’\u00e9co-mode.\u00a0<\/span>Chaque robe a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e sur mesure par l’artiste \u00e0 partir de mat\u00e9riaux locaux qui repr\u00e9sentent un large \u00e9chantillon repr\u00e9sentatif de femmes de tous \u00e2ges et de tailles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Le projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 l’exposition Earth Art \u00e0 Vancouver, Canada \u00a0(2012)\u00a0avec 28 robes, chacune drap\u00e9e sur un socle en bois, et\u00a0<\/span>photographi\u00e9e du d\u00e9but de sa cr\u00e9ation jusqu’\u00e0 sa d\u00e9composition.<\/span><\/p>\n

My focus as an artist is to create environmental art and ephemeral installations based on the principles of a socially engaged art practice. The Weedrobes series, which began in 2005 as an experiment in making garments from leaves and flowers has now evolved into a series that also examines consumerism, the fashion industry and the constructed landscape.
\n<\/em>The intention of the Weedrobes series is to engage the public on several levels: through street interventions, garden settings and gallery exhibitions. Each new piece begins as a wearable sculpture constructed from local and renewable plant materials. It is then photographed with a model in a landscaped urban setting emphasizing the impact of humans on the natural environment. The third stage consists of a public intervention in a shopping area where the garment wearer engages with passersby regarding issues of disposable consumer goods. The garment\/sculpture is later installed in a garden or park setting and left to decompose over time.<\/em><\/p>\n
