Dress-Up is comprised of vintage garments – sizes 2-4 – from Elsewhere’s collection that have been deconstructed and expanded to accommodate sizes 22-26. The altered clothes are displayed on mannequins that Lewis modified to reflect her own body’s measurements. An accompanying performance features the artist wearing the clothing as a living store display in Elsewhere’s storefront.
