Inspired by years of shopping for second-hand fashion, Kristie transforms vintage clothing into assemblage objects. Using only a seam-ripper, she deconstructs leather jackets, cotton sweaters, fur coats, and other natural fabrics, wrapping and layering them around a wide array of discarded chairs. Personalities are born out of the process, revealing unexpected silhouettes and layers of meaning. The paradoxical qualities of the objects resonate: at one level they are an abject collection of vintage items, and at another level they are loaded with architectural, dramatic, emotional content.
