Sculptural Gowns

Blancing surface designs with classic design silhouettes, Jillian possesses a unique ability to mimic the physical drape of cloth using merely found objects and gravity.  These sculptural gowns are constructed with great care so that they can move gracefully on the female form while appearing as cloth when displayed on fashion mannequins in a gallery setting.
