Shannon Rankin
Dress Series
This series was inspired by an earlier series I created for a show titled "101 Dresses" at Artspace.

I created these pieces with the Rorschach inkblot test in mind, and wanted to push their ambiguity. In addition to representing dresses, and the female form, I also wanted these pieces to loosely resemble moths, other insects, and leaves.
