Pedestrian Bondage

56” long x 26” wide x 3” deep

fabric, buttons, underwear, wire, wallpaper, finials (on wood platform – 4” w)

Pedestrian Bondage was designed as a woman’s bed complete with her normal day underwear cast about like she was alone.  The bed is on a 3” wooden platform.  The piece has quilted Quaker lace from a repurposed tablecloth, cut-worked drapery & upholstery samples, vintage shoelaces, vintage garter-belt findings, & pearl buttons.  The colors are ivories, whites, peach, & browns.  If you look closely, you will find the curve of a woman’s body that has been outlined in grommets & laced like a corset.  The underwear are from the 1950s.
