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 19
    I made some big improvements this weekend. I put in about 20 hours of work, and squeezed in some time to sleep and run errands. My fingers need a break though so I'm trying to rally the girls to go to Jazz martini night. Thanks Izzy, for the great photos!
