AFTERMATH (St. Jude’s Dress) — Shannon Quinn


Author Note:

For this piece I collected 75 prayers from participants. Parameters I observed were that I would not read the prayers and that I would sew them onto the dress in the manner they were given to me.

The dress was created from 2 scarves from Value Village.
