Jean Shin: Dimensions Variable (Shirt)

A two-toned sheet of handmade paper maps out the contours of a deconstructed Oxford shirt. Within these forms are screenprinted dotted lines that mimic the size guides on a clothing pattern template. These lines track the topography of the body in different stages of maturity, suggesting the traces of an infant’s first shirt within that of an adult’s.
