During a month in which hauntings and ghastly cosutmes are a ubiquitous sight, Brandon Morris<\/a> presents a new body of work that taps into a shared sense of unease. The New York-based artist makes his Paris debut with Tissu Expans\u00e9, a collection of five fiberglass and resin gowns that appear as though they\u2019ve come to life.<\/p>\n

Constructed in pale blue, the spectral works are part of Morris\u2019 Ghost Dresses, a series that stitches together fashion and sculpture through garments that materialize without a body. Bodices are full, while skirts angle as if they\u2019re moving with an invisible owner. One piece even lunges forward, the arms reaching out with what seems like a kick of the back leg that lifts the hem upward.<\/p>\n

Tissu Expans\u00e9 is more lively than the artist\u2019s earlier collection<\/a>, which saw hunched shoulders and bent postures suggestive of monstrous occupiers. While similarly haunting, these pieces appear less sinister, arising more as whimsical apparitions than supernatural villains.<\/p>\n

Morris\u2019 exhibition is on view through October 30 with Europa<\/a>. Keep up with his practice on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
