Nicole Dextras dress made/named for Dawn Russell
This dress was named and made for me by Nicole Dextras from materials I provided to her (see detail pics below). It was installed on Tuesday, August 28 in the Perennial Garden. It's made from skeletonized and fresh magnolia leaves, ferns, Chinese chestnuts, black mondo grass. This is just one of the 21 dresses Nicole made as part of her Little Green Dress Projekt See her blog for photos and details of each of the dresses and the project's sustainability message.Earth Art Photos on VanDusen's Facebook page
