Card House
2016 – 2018
Site-specific installation series with sculpturally formed t-shirts

Card House is a series of site-specific installations composed of T-shirts formed to resemble corrugated iron sheets. Initiated during research on Bangladesh's garment and construction industries, the works connect clothing production with the material cultures of informal architecture, tracing the relationships between labor, global supply chains and the built environment.
