Shock of the New

47cm x 37cm x 35cm

 

Descripton

Wooden sewing box, outside cover black plastic material, inside lining pale yellow plastic, padded lid

Lined with flower-patterned waxcloth,  and velvet fabric  both, as are the dress and the pantyhose vintage pieces, from the swirly, colourful, hallucinatory times when the living was easy and love was free, when we were hippies,  read Carlos Castaneda, listened to sitar music, wore leg warmers and made love not war.

 

What once was new, is now vintage.
