RETAIL THERAPY
Inspired by Man Ray’s “Obstruction,” Stewart created a dress made of translucent plastic hangers found in her childhood home. In performances of this work, she quickly constructed the sculpture and hung up clothing donated by audience members in the span of 15 - 20 minutes. During performances at The Tank and JACK, Stewart tried to challenge the capitalist desire to accumulate goods with the question: “why is it that we collect so many things?"
