A residency at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 2009 continues to be a rich source of research for Victoria Morton. This image brings together investigations of the Museum’s garment archive with the artist’s interest in sound production, documenting objects of sensuous experience. It represents a new strand of work, based on the handmade, printing, pressing and recording, photography, pattern making and reproduction. A diagram of a matador’s cape placed on kimono fabric is contrasted with the industrial scene of a record being hand pressed circa 1897. The actual cape was probably worn by Isabella Gardener at a party during the late 19th century.
Victoria Morton first worked at the Print Studio to produce a print in conjunction with her Modern Institute exhibition in 2011.
