Oracle Matters






Oracle means womb.  Each piece of clothing has a decorative rendering of the female reproductive organs appropriate for different stages in womanhood.  The lacy uterine and ovarian design is burned out of the fabric near its anatomical location under the garment.  The design merges the private with the public, a sort of denouncement or transcendence of the intellectual construct about the female body rooted in ancient Greece where women were not permitted to participate in the public sphere.  The shapeless shirt decorated with six uteruses pointing outwardly, symbolizes the liberation of fertility from biological reproduction to multiple acts of expression.
