day one
My name is Jo Nasvik and The Missoula Dress Project is a one-month performance art piece as part of my BFA thesis. As an artist I am interested in the intersection of street art, performance art, and drawing. During the month of February I have committed to wearing this wedding gown daily and will be sewing and pinning onto the dress the evidence of my consumption. Such as coffee cups, wrappers, plastic bags, paper scraps, aluminum cans.....and so on. It is important to me that my art has cultural meaning, so I chose a wedding dress to indicate the excessive "marriage" between consumers and industry.

Day 16
I had a great day. I walked with pride and left my fear at home, tucked away in a secret spot. It is better to hold your head high, then to stare at the ground. The least I can do is believe in myself and the idea. It's okay if some people don't look, if one does...it's worth it. I am grateful for the chance to visualize the idea and to really learn from the information. Make your own rules.
