Skirt of Sorrow and Forgiveness

Skirt of Sorrow and Forgiveness is a skirt I created out of my wedding dress crinoline and my father’s old handkerchiefs. The metal letters sewn on to the skirt read:

Yellow circle of light

Laughing

Wailing

Twirling with the sun.

A return to flight.

The piece harkens to different times of my life and holds both the sorrow I have experienced as well as the ritual of forgiveness I continually engage in.
