Fan Mail Dress

Created in 2000
Colorful junk mail
(catalogues, solicitations, newspaper ads) were folded into fans and sewn onto a
skirt and dress made of scrap canvas and a mantilla for the hair. The vintage
shoes are covered with old postage stamps. The inspiration for this outfit came
from the origami peacock earrings- Nancy Judd made them in 1988 when she
designed and sold origami jewelry for a summer job. This ensemble took 200 hours
to create.
Junk Mail-- wasted resources!
Nationwide, junk mail uses 68 million trees and 28 billion gallons of water
annually… and 44% of all junk mail is never opened or read! Most of it isn't
recycled either. Reducing waste before it is created is the first step in
resource conservation- and stopping junk mail is big step! Removing your name from mailing
lists is easy! Click
