I am known mostly for my work depicting women“™s dresses, which are a diary of sorts that chronicle my life events. The dress sculptures have grown and changed through time ““ Initially dealing with the treatment of women in the workplace and presently speak of rejoicing in the possibility that life brings; our union with nature and going forth in beauty. The pieces are created from various metals including steel and vintage oil cans.  Donna McCullough
