Portraits from my Wardrobe continues artist Jane Bodnaruk’s inquiry into textile and fashion, traversing the autobiographical, social and environmental dimensions of everyday materials that at once protect us from the elements, announce individuality and aspirations, and embody our histories, whilst increasingly engendering a transactional and toxic place in our world.
In flesh tones, Bodnaruk’s soft sculpture vignettes – spectral entities constructed from her own retired garments – bring to bear dichotomous notions of nurture and practicality, treasure and trash, personal and ubiquitous.
