Digitally collaged from vintage photographs and ephemera, "Party Dress" speaks emotional volumes of love and desire. A young woman ( from a circa 1910 photograph) gently caresses a magnificent butterfly as she patiently waits in her doorway for guests, or perhaps even a suitor, to arrive. She is surrounded by symbolic imagery representing her thoughts and desires including exotic Asian dancers, a regal lion, a faded letter and much more.
