Chix on Boards

My cousin Anna Wellton and I made Chix on Boards in 2003, with clothes that belonged among longboards, concrete, graffiti and the improvisation of city life. I wanted the shapes to hold their own while the women wearing them moved, crouched or simply sat together.

It is an early chapter of my fascination with what we communicate before we speak. You can follow that question further in the Diary with The roles we wear for one another.
