Enjoy this time-lapse video of the installation of "Resartus" by Dominic Guarnaschelli at the Carnegie Center for Art & History. This artwork is part of the New Albany Public Art Project: Bicentennial Series. Learn more about the project at www.napublicart.org.
"This sculpture commemorating the female workforce of New Albany's textile industry is modeled on an historical 19th century dress body form, and enlarged in homage to classical statuary. Paralleling the translation of a garment from a two dimensional plan into three dimensional form, the sculpture combines multiple historic clothing patterns while also referencing the design of a treadle sewing base used by my grandfather, a tailor in Louisville for several decades. The title, 'Resartus', taken from the Latin phrase meaning 'retailored', recalls not only a connection to New Albany's Textile Industry, but also in the context of the Bicentennial series, the notion of looking back, transformation and making things anew." -Dominic Guarnaschelli
