reflection: resale

Since moving to Houston in 2004, I have lived in 4 separate locations. While living at each of these locations, I have become aware of articles of clothing that I have not worn since the move. My inability to rid myself of this (attire) has gradudally peaked my curiosity. In an attempt to deny being a (clothing packrack), I began a series entitled Reflection: Resale. In this series, I (sift) through my wardrobe, extracting articles that are unused. Then, I reflect on what memories are associated with these particular articles of clothing, revealing my inability to discard them. Afterwards, I dress myself in this attire and photograph it in the form of outfits. These photographs will be presented in a web-based project in which I become a "paperdoll" that the viewer can "dress." In creating this series, I become aware of identities that I have assumed.
