Phantom Gown addresses the layers of emotions that exist after an initial mourning period or time of trauma. The feelings may be faint to the feeler, or their community, but they are there and layered. Our energy gets tangled in them, sometimes creating a boundary or barrier between the feeler and the world surrounding them. The layers of fabric and hand spun yarn in Phantom Gown exist to simulate the feeling of built up emotions. If they aren’t flowing through the body, they are all encompassing.
