Erica Spitzer Rasmussen ( customizing )



Erica Spitzer Rasmussen is a teller of stories - but her medium isn't language. Her vehicle of choice is the female body and the clothes that women wear. To tell her tales, the Twin Cities-based artist constructs dresses, kimonos, bustiers, and collars from fabric or cast handmade paper, often lacing pieces together with linen or silk thread, jute, or flax. She then embellishes the surfaces with unorthodox materials such as human hair, tea bags, animal fur, and sundried tomatoes. "I don't use standard art-store materials," she says. "Mine are very personal and unusual."
