R: Pam Kleemann IBS
Dress (Irritable Bridal Syndrome) 2018
Human and synthetic hair, cotton thread, PVA glue on canvas
African-American artist Adrienne Wheeler invited a number of
women to contribute to White Dress Narratives (part of the Pure Power
exhibition). Each artist was given a white dress blank canvas, to decorate
according to our individual perspectives/interpretations of the white dress.
The original white dress was hand-made for her mother's year 8 graduation, and
the template was cut from the original dress.

Walking past a Madonna on Wei
Bao Shan Mountain 2018 clothing Indian and Chinese cottons, Malaysian printed
sarongs, American designer fabric. This colour field began with
clothing belonging to myself and friends. We no longer wear them but they
represented an era in our lives. I wanted to capture the richness of the
material and colour and perhaps some of the fantasy they held for us. The
brightness of the colour and the patterned fabric reminded me of a beautiful
temple I visited in China.

admired it. Two events in my house led to its demise. It has been re-used and
regenerated.
