The 10,000 used labels represent our best clothes set aside for wearing to church on Sundays, the ceremonial garment revealing stories of image renewal and twenty first century consumption. The sculpture has been described as ‘an extravagant rescue of fashionable waste’. It provides a record of people and their garments, the shops that sell clothes and the speed of change in fashion and dress. Image: Wells Cathedral, Somerset.
