Arts Memphis Paper Clip
Arts Memphis Paper Clip
Steel
11"x8"
2008

This was the first dress form I created using the running stitch "fabric". Every year the Metal Museum applies for an Arts Memphis grant, and with the grant they include a "paper clip". This year, I had the opportunity to create the paper clip. The apron is attached to the dress form on a hinge, hiding the spring mechanism. So by pressing down on the top part of the apron, the bottom lifts up, functioning much like a clip board.
