'Storydress II is a series of photographs of a life-size
paper mache and plaster sculpture. The dress is
made of paper mache stories that I recorded of
my great-grandmother’s autobiographical
reminiscences. Each photograph contains legible
words. The sculpture was photographed with the
wet-plate collodion negative process, printed on
handmade gold-toned Albumen paper, and
burnished onto antique Cabinet Card mounts'
