The catalyst for this piece was a passage from the The New Testament Matthew 6.25 http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=165539089 . It has always been in the back of my mind because I think that the idea behind it is beautiful. So, I when out on my bicycle to find something to wear. I spent a few days riding around back alleys and empty city lots mostly, and in which time a found this outfit. Again, I documented on instagram each article as I found it. I pondered on the beautiful and poetic despair of each piece as I found them. Some pieces were so close to disintegrating into the earth that I fell like the boy who pulled the frozen girl out of the ravine, seconds before her last breath drifted away for good. I had myself photographed in the outfit. I remember thinking …These are not the clothes I would ever choose to wear… But, in actuality, that is exactly what I did.
