| Carrie Collins, The Burger Bride, 2007 |
There really is no necessary significance to “The Burger Bride.” I was having a casual conversation with Mayu (the textile designer) a few months back and she mentioned how she had been wanting to make hamburger fabric. Then I convinced her that if she did I would make a gown out of it with a matching headdress. The bride part sprouted from the idea of it being a “one-piece, one-day” exhibition.Wedding gowns can be so elaborate and detailed, yet only seen for a portion of one day. I think that is pretty strange. I think a lady dressed in hamburgers is pretty strange as well, so I decided to combine the two and see what happens. I chose a live model because having a live model also presents a performance piece, where she (the model) has her own attitude, stance, walk, and presence that can only add to the costume.
