Performance Art by Kelly Ridley
www.lachesis.ca
"I am a costume designer specializing in (but not limited to) historical dress. I am a knitter. I have had modest success with several methods of lace making, and have in the past year or two been amusing myself with various types of fabric manipulation and image transfer. I have been working with fibres and textiles literally all my life. ... I love the idea of “wearable art”: I am intrigued by the thought of my work becoming a sort of ‘living installation’ that by its very nature is worked into the fabric (so to speak) of daily life."
