Dress made from a deconstructed American flag by Liz Collins and Gary Adams, 2003

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pride Dress. Liz Collins and Gary Adams for Griz, 2003. Cotton, synthetic fiber, wool; plain weave, machine knit-grafted.

Liz Collins said of this design in 2018: "I wanted people to think about the American flag and to see it defaced on the ground, walked on, as a way to express my pain surrounding the contemporaneous war in Iraq and to consider the ramifications and meaning of patriotism gone awry.

My work is materially and process driven, and the fabric that I make, manipulate, or embellish is at the core of my process. In this piece I was motivated not only by the act and history of knitting itself (one richly intertwined with gender and labor), but the emotional and physical experiences of queerness. Although it seems chaotic, the process is tightly structured and technically rigorous at its core. –Liz Collins" (see source link)
