Abstract

Cactus Shadow deals with a widow’s conflict, of either hanging onto a worn suit or letting it go. The framework of Tailored offers another solution; a means of performing mourning through the hand-sewing process. The stitches emerge as timid interventions and evoke the impermanence of the surface of the suit.
