Anna Mango and her sister Tarja Martin work with items of trash and materials which they have collected from the streets of the inner west suburbs of Sydney, NSW.
Anna says: ‘I often let the material dictate the design I envisage, and it will be a spontaneous commencement into the work.’
Of the piece, Anna says: ‘The gown is a celebration beautiful voluminous proportions and trash reborn! …a sculptural moving entity, this piece moves and comes to life on the human body. With a beautiful ethereal quality, the concept of Field Of Dreams manifested in 3D. The flowers represent my dreams and aspirations and as the flowers appear on other parts of garment, these are the dreams becoming bigger and manifesting as they go out into the universe’.
Materials: street salvaged rolls of brick paving cardboard stencils, street salvaged rolls of white corrugated paper, pearls from broken necklaces, found golden thread.
Gold and silver rivets leftovers from previous projects.
