Artist Mandy Greer molds the fiber of life

In this photograph, taken by Greer for the "Honey and Lightning" exhibit, Sara Kennedy personifies the Demeter/Persephone story of a mother in winter, mourning for her child. The costume was created from old clothes, all in gold fabrics, with gold yarns, strings and trinkets, given structure with wire and papier máche.
