make/believe

Documenting the creative process of sisters Briana Linden (in Portland, Oregon) and Phaedra Elizabeth (in Brooklyn, New York). They've been working together for the past 27 years, since they met and became family when one was 7 and the other 5.

i'm thinking about photographs, drawings, things sent back and forth (we should start doing that), collage, books... works on paper. installation. i want to help with a dress in some way, but am not so good at the construction part... i like paper, sewn paper. or maybe tulle with paper sewn into it. i like the idea of obscured things, like childhood memories, intangible, just out of... not reach, but sight.  
maybe we can make a dress when i'm in ny in september.  something that will fit inside a suitcase.

i love that idea. i just emailed you about keeping a sketch book that is part sketches and part collage just for the show ... i love the idea of sending things back and forth, we did this when i was in italy, you sent me a wonderful little collage made of tulle. do you remember? it was amazing.

I was planing that we would make a dress while you were here. that was one of my goals. we'll just be talking about it before you arrive, and then create it when it happens.
