In this installation 'Spirit Level' , Lisa Qualls incorporates items of clothing with transferred family photographs. Clothing is a powerful metaphor of humanity combined with the photographs this is both beautiful and disturbing.
I agree that there always seems something a little disturbing about installations that incorporate clothing without a body....Like some of my favourite artist Christian Boltanski's work.....which invokes ideas of the concept of bereavement and loss. Yet, like with this work I also find it very compelling.
I love everything about this, but then I love washing hanging on a line.
