Dear Linda is a collection of diary entries, garments, recordings, and ephemra to commemorate a relationship between the artist and machine; woman and work; woman and the American South; artist and collaborator; living and nonliving. The undergarments of the forms is a garment referred to as the “workin’ dress” which is an object repeated throughout this series and seen on many of the artist’s family while they were laboring for the families in Appalachia in the 20th century. The uniforms are created for hyper-specific events that have already transpiried. In the tradition of attempting to prepare for the unpreparable, garment creation is used as a coping mechanism from the transpired events, such as a Vest to Mourn The Death Of My Sewing Machine.
