11.3.25.11: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Remembrance, 2011. Tyvek paper, satin ribbon, ink. 68” x 30” x 30”. $2200
Statement: A commemoration on the 100th anniversary of the triangle shirtwaist factory fire. The shirtwaist in this piece is similar to what was produced in the Triangle Factory. I inscribed the names of the fire victims in the hand-penned, faux embroidery found on the front panel and sleeves. It’s constructed of Tyvek, a material known for its fire retardancy, which contrasts the factory building and materials that were so quickly engulfed in flames.
