These are made entirely from money bills:
On show at the RGS (IBG) as part of the exhibition Creative Compass. Made form paper money from all over the world, stitched together. Based on the style of dress worn in the 1870′s by British Female Explorers, honouring their place and role in history.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
These dresses made of paper maps and money are Susan Stockwell’s sculptural study on colonialism and the British empire. Empty life-sized female dress composed of ordinance survey maps glued together. Stockwell delivers a visual blow to English colonization and occupation of Scotland over 300 years. Using military maps to create a woman’s dress sends a double message of war and politics being dominated by men in Western history. If you enjoy this, you will probably like the ‘Maps Couture’ of Elisabeth Lecourt.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
