Pet-à-Porter
June 25–July 24, 2004

Pet-à-Porter is a humorous look at the social and economic relationship between humans and animals. The show is comprised of four discrete series of sculptural works. Fowl Chic is a series of nine roasting chickens seductively posed and cast in wax; Preparing Huey features eight wax human hands holding animal grooming tools. Pet Attendants includes five pet tools and accessories made from leather and The Cuddling Laps is a series of laps made of leather, “designed to comfort the skin of one animal with the skin of another”.
