Not My Style
Caroline Tighe
Not My Style is an interactive installation that invites viewers to dress a life-sized cutout of the artist. By reading a series of short descriptions and mixing various clothing pieces, participants are led to construct their own perception of the doll— and the artist—prompting reflection on how clothing shapes their understanding of a person.
Fabrics are sewn together to represent the essence of specific memories, some as simple as roasting marshmallows during camping trips to the many hopscotches created with her grandfather to the homes she grew up in.
Certain patterns also represent members of her family, including those that are gone but never forgotten.
