Big Bad Love
The 15.5 foot tall bride’s dress hangs from a white washed tree branch, bringing it into a kind of ritual wedding dress for an oversized bride, an intimidating, unknown entity. It embodies our concept of a long-term commitment of marriage, but it is made from disposable materials. This bride comes from an untamed place. She has broken her ball and chain that keeps her in the traditional realms and vows to break all chains. She has become unpredictable and forceful, maybe even defiant, if she weren't so hilarious!
