States of Dresses





Robin Barcus Slonina created her first dress sculpture in 1999. This one is made out of 28 red dresses she got from thrift stores in Chicago. So pretty.







This is Las Vegas' casino poker chip dress. She had to drill holes through 200 poker chips and arrange them in a pattern then string them together. This is such a cool picture, and it was actually taken in the desert!





This is the prairie dress, it blends in so well! Robin had to weave in new, fresh blades of grass after they transported to dress to the site. This would be so complicated!







Here is New York City's trash bag dress, why is NYC known for its trash?






Her pine tree dress. All I can say is that this would be so uncomfortable wear. But it is a really cool picture.




The Iowa dress is so cool, just like the rest of these. All of the pictures are amazing! Robin is so dedicated to this project because I would certainly have a hard time doing this.
