Oddly enough, I cannot dream of being from anywhere
else but Idaho. Being from the physical (and possibly
metaphorical) lowest point in Idaho, Lewiston, I used
to feel ashamed of my state but have since grown to
appreciate all that it has to offer. While I enjoy
my life here, it is hard to ignore the fact that
the politics of Idaho do not have my interests at
heart as I am a lesbian who would rather die than
have a child. Despite my desire to stay in Idaho,
my appreciation for the state is often overshadowed
by the mayhem of state politics. My work has been
curated into three fashion looks that represent the
appearance of the good, bad, and ugly of the state
of Idaho. I find the good in Idaho to be the beauty
of the land with its ability to draw one in but also
harm them at the same time. The bad is represented
by the intimate set which represents those, like
me, who are affected by the decisions made by those
with more power. Last, the ugly is represented by
a camouflage suit, what I perceive as the ugliest
thing imaginable. The suit is a representation of
a subversive relationship between the white-collar
prestige of those who wear suits and clothing which
often symbolizes the lower class. Through my work, I
want people to gain a greater understanding that not
everyone in Idaho is a far-right lunatic, and that we
are all the same people living while trying to find a
way to get by in each moment.
