This project began as a whim—which I decided to entertain. Still, the concept fits with my semester of work. I’d been playing with paper for the majority of my projects, making it take on a 3-D form, while trying to instill in my objects a function that displayed my power as an artist to compel others to believe that my objects can accomplish the functions I assign to them. In this particular piece, I used tissue paper to create paper underwear. Instead of imposing a purpose on an object I translated into paper, I removed one. These paper undergarments are functionless, so I hung them from string I crisscrossed in the stairway, another favorite exhibition location. I think I ultimately succeeded in creating a whimsical piece that brought me joy and allowed me to explore new techniques and ways of approaching assignments.
