Helen Storey
A product of a groundbreaking exploration of chemically-fabricated, biodegradable materials by the artist and fashion designer Helen Storey and the scientist Tony Ryan, 'Wonderland' uses fashion as a 'trojan horse' to demonstrate radical scientific findings. From 29 January–29 February 2008, Storey will construct her first fashion collection in 12 years, in front of a live audience. These garments are designed to deconstruct over time in water and this amazing quality will be showcased during the residency, during which time SHOWstudio will document the full process in picture diaries and live webcasts. When the collection is completed, our task will then be to photograph the garments in a live shoot in Spring to document their design and appearance before dissolving them for a film that will showcase their miraculous scientific secret.
