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 22
I think that I am one of the luckiest people I know. I love my friends! Kat.....I just want you to know that I have never been so proud to dance with a hot dog, thank you for taking some of the attention away. Last night we went to a show at the Top Hat and boogied all night, only this time I was not the only weirdo out there. My mood may have started out rough yesterday, but by the end of the day I was smiling to my ears. Some things seem so silly to get worked up about....like things we have no control over. This experience has been extremely humbling at times. Hope yall had a great and fat Tuesday. Bowling is on again for tomorrow, stay tuned.
