Trappings is an artwork that begins by asking women to respond to the question: what do you wear that makes you feel powerful? While the project begins with a question about clothing, the project is not about fashion and to a large extent is not even about clothing. Through its multiple parts, Trappings ignites conversations about the meaning and expression of power.
Trappings includes several parts:
Interview sessions where groups of women are asked to respond to the question: what do you wear that makes you feel powerful? Since 2001, over 530 women from 15 states have participated in the project
