In the series Hide, hundreds of men’s and women’s shoes that have been laboriously deconstructed, flattened, paired, and then stitched together to form 13 hanging sculptures organized by color and style. Suspended by their laces, the shoes have been divorced from their function and reduced to their material essence. With its wide range of fashion, color, detail, and design, the collection of leather “bodies” alludes to its materials’ origins as tanned animal hide.
