Pinion Maid

The vein of masochism in aesthetic endeavour forms the bones of Pinion Maid. Drawing from late Victoriana and early Edwardiana as an archetypal time of female restraint and rebellion, the boundaries of inheritance and self-infliction are united. The garment questions to what extent this repression is derived from, and maintained by, internal and external sources.

Consisting of over 2000 porcelain pieces hand-stitched in a painstaking process of torture couture, Pinion Maid challenges the complexities of the constraints surrounding the female form by delivering over 30kg to the body in elegant veneer.
