Apparel for the Blood Countess

This dress was inspired by Erzabet of Bathory, a real life 16th century Hungarian Countess who had the nasty addiction of torturing a killing young women and bathing in their claret, in order to brand her own skin look more than youthful.

The garment is made upwardly of generally used white leather gloves that have been deconstructed & sewn together. Near of these gloves are used and dirty or stained, so they deport the marks of the previous owners. To me they represent the mankind of the Countess' victims, that she was trying to advisable for her own selfish needs.

Hell Prison cell / Tree of Life Dress

Inspired by the story of Henrietta Lacks and traditional needlework motifs of the Tree of Life, this dress is made of recycled materials and is sewn by hand. Henrietta was a poor African American woman who was beingness treated for cervical cancer when a researcher discovered her cancer cells were "immortal" (they would not die in civilization, outside of her torso.) These unique Hela cells were harvested from Henrietta Lacks in 1951, and have been instrumental in scientific research until today. These incredible cells divide so prolifically that it is estimated that more Hela cells have been grown in labs than were e'er in Henrietta Lacks' body.

Unfortunately, Henrietta Lacks was never aware that her cells were harvested, nor has her family received compensation for the use ofHela cells in enquiry. I institute Rebecca Skloot's volume, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, to be an invaluable resources, and inspiration for this project.

Ophidian Dress

Mushroom Dress
