Part of the series Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Presented in conjuction with Fashion Talks 2010

Artist Greg Lauren, who first achieved success as a painter, presents a site-specific installation of striking sculptures of clothing made from paper. Inspired by the idea of fashion as an art and medium for self expression, Lauren will explore the role fashion plays in the development of identity. A nephew of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, the artist will investigate both the artistic process of creating fashion by hand-sewing each piece, as well as the intriguing concept of clothing as a component of self-image.
