"TEA PARTY, 2014" by Mary Cheung
TEA PARTY, 2014. Size 6 woman’s dress, hoop skirt, and hat. $1200
Statement: This dress was originally created to be worn at the Tea House at Huntington Gardens. Later it was used in the "Women Series" that exhibited in 2014 for FEMININE MYSTIQUE, a group exhibit. This dress was for the character "The Nurturer" She wears it while having a tea party in an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatter tea party kinda vibe.
About the artist: “I am a multi-disciplinary artist, an innovative Artist and Costume Designer. My work contains a strong sense of story as well as a highly sensuous style. I mostly work in painting or photography creating conceptual art and sometimes I make art that is wearable and innovative. I have been creating art since I was young. Grew up the youngest in a family of eight. I came to America at the age of 2 and grew up in San Francisco. Attended American school during the day and Chinese school at night.
Art to me is very personal and not always everyone’s cup of tea. Art is an outlet for me, and a valuable tool for connecting people to each other. I have an AA degree in Fashion Design and a Best Costume Design Award from the NAACP. I often create costumes for my art narratives and creations. I’ll also build the sets if needed. My real passion and drive come from being able to engage the community while bringing hope, healing, joy, and Human Connection. It is my goal to be able to continue to do this while making an impact on society’s values and thinking.”
