Rena Bransten Gallery is pleased to present an installation of Sidney Russell’s enormous clothes. In minute detail and epic scale, Russell replicates familiar, used clothes with a combination of humor, nostalgia, and confusion. Walking into an installation of her oversized pants, shirts, suits, and dresses is a challenge in perception – we suddenly become aware of our own size in relation to these common objects we thought we understood. The bizarre transformation is both unsettling and pleasing – a childlike wonderment overwhelms as we try to make sense of the drastic shift of scale. These clothes are relics to the passage of time, and much like memories, can become distorted, overblown, and misshapen.
