Commission
Commissioned as part of Di’s residency at Eyebeam Centre for Art and Technology, New York, USA.
Experience
Peggy-Sue is a playful, 2D structure that can be applied to the body to create inspiring 3D shapes. The structure encourages play, transforming, morphing and redefining the human form.
Her story
Peggy-Sue lived in the town’s library, a dusty place full of other people’s tales. Her own story was unclear. She slept in the gap between 14th Century churches and fly-fishing. I saw her once, she wore a dress fashioned out of peg-board – borrowed from the library’s store cupboard. White, perforated, angular, perfect. She smiled as she glided by. I noticed her eyes were sad. I blinked and she was gone, though her perfume still remained – the bookish scent of 100-year-old love poems – musty yet intoxicating. They say she had a broken heart.
