Little Black Dress Is Coming...

Little Black Dress is an evolving, interactive project and culmination of photographs documenting myself in a distinctive "little black dress" as taken throughout the St. Louis metro region during summer 2012.  My husband, Charles Wilbur, shot these photographs using his i-phone under my guidance.

This media was chosen for its immediate accessibility, subverted discreetness, and resonance with viewers, many of whom themselves own i-phones and use them to photograph various scenes, people, and other subjects to record where they have been, who they were with, and what they were doing.  Selected photographs are presented together in an exhibition that will travel between various St. Louis venues to further explore this accessibility and resonance.
